Play Summary: Set in the English countryside in 1923, The Cottage is a fast-paced romantic comedy inspired by classic British drawing-room farces.
Sylvia has decided that the time has come to reveal her secret affair with Beau—to both her husband, Clarke and Beau’s wife, Marjorie. Everyone meets at Beau’s family cottage, expecting that honesty will finally allow her and Beau to begin their new life together.
Instead, one revelation leads to another as spouses, lovers, unexpected guests, and surprising secrets collide. As relationships unravel and new ones emerge, the characters find themselves caught in an increasingly outrageous web of love, lust, marriage, jealously, betrayal, mistaken assumptions, and unexpected romance.
Filled with rapid-fire dialogue, physical comedy, surprising entrances, and escalating complications, The Cottage is a modern comedy written in the style of a classic 1920s English farce—where almost everyone has a secret, no relationship is quite what it seems, and love may be found in the most unexpected places.
