When Sylvia decides that her annual extramarital tryst with Beau needs a deeper level of commitment, their intimate weekend getaway quickly unravels into a surprising – and potentially murderous – web of betrayals and unexpected revelations. Set in the English countryside of 1920s, the play hilariously blends the witty, romantic comedies of Noël Coward with more than a few dashes of Monty Python and Benny Hill. Part comedy of manners, part farce, and unapologetically silly, The Cottage is surprisingly astute about the ennui that leads to affairs of the heart and the real consequences of taking love for granted.

The production is directed by Chris O’Connor, former Artistic Director of Mile Square Theatre, with a talented cast of new and familiar faces, including Christopher Joel Onken*, Lyndsey Cole *, Emily Samuelson, Jeff Tagliaferro, Jane Elliott , and Vito Longo.

Scenery Design by Joseph Mucumeci, Costume Design by Barbara Kahl, Lighting Design by Julie Duro , and Technical Direction by Becca Rayne. This production will be Stage Managed by River Patten.

*Signifies member of Actors Equity, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
