The Cottage

by Sandy Rustin

Set in the English countryside in 1923, this tale of sex, betrayal and, oh yes, love, unfolds when Sylvia Van Kipness decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover's wife. The true meanings of fate, identity and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous-- potentially murderous-- romantic comedy. https://thecottageonbroadway.com/...

    Noel Coward on steroids! An utterly delightful farce with twists and surprises that will keep you guessing the entire script.
