Overview

A Side-Splitting Farce

When Sylvia decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband—and her lover’s wife—an idyllic English countryside getaway turns into a wildly improper disaster. As lovers and spouses collide under one roof, what begins as a scandal quickly spirals into a cascade of outrageous twists, romantic entanglements, and deliciously bad decisions. From the writer of the smash-hit stage adaptation of Clue, The Cottage is a fast-paced farce that delivers big laughs, bold antics, and a giant dose of high-society mischief.
