The Cottage

BY

SANDY RUSTIN

A riotous romantic farce in the spirit of Noël Coward, The Cottage delivers mistaken identities, scandalous secrets, and nonstop hilarity. When lovers Sylvia and Beau escape to a cozy countryside cottage to start anew, unexpected guests—and outrageous revelations—turn their plans upside down. From the playwright of Clue On Stage, it’s a whirlwind of witty chaos and charming mischief with love (mostly) conquering all.
