Set in 1923, Sylvia and Beau find themselves in an English countyside cottage for their yearly rendezvous - when Sylvia decides to expose her affair to both her husband and her lover’s wife. What she doesn’t expect is a complicated and hilarious web of secrets and betrayal to unravel! With a tip of the hat to Noel Coward and British comedies of the past, the true meaning of fate and faith, identity and infidelity, love and marriage are all called into question in this ridiculously funny romantic comedy. The Cottage, written by Sandy Rustin (Clue) and fresh off a successful Broadway run in 2023, is a side-splitting romp of endless laughs, hilarious plot twists, daring physical comedy, and a happy ending for lovers everywhere.
