From the playwright that took Clue from screen to stage, The Cottage is an outrageously roaring 20's romp that will have you laughing from start to finish. Set in 1923 in an English country cottage, a woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband—and her lover's wife. As secrets unravel and passions collide, the meaning of love, identity, and marriage are all thrown into question, and served in a way only the British can serve it: with tea. With shocking plot twists, scandalous reveals, and razor-sharp humor, The Cottage is a deliciously funny hit comedy where no one’s secrets are safe. 

 

The Cottage is a fast-paced comedy of manners. The play contains discussions of sexual themes, themes of infidelity, and discussions of violence. This production uses a prop gun. Suitable for mature audiences.
