About THE COTTAGE by Sandy Rustin
The true meaning of fate, identity, and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous – potentially murderous – uncharacteristically feminist, 1923 tale of sex, betrayal, and oh yes, love … when Sylvia and Beau find themselves in an English countryside cottage for their yearly rendezvous, and Sylvia knows this time it will be the beginning of their new life together. But then Beau demurs on a shared future, and their spouses arrive at the cottage. . . The Cottage has been described as a modern take on a Noël Coward comedy.

Barbara Larose, Director, has this to say about the play:“When I read the play I laughed out loud until there were tears in my eyes. That humour really attracted me to the piece — it was like a glass of great champagne — all sparkle and effervescence. For a modern audience, it is delightful to take this kind of humour and modernize it to today’s sensibilities without losing an iota of the ‘funny’ of this genre. “
