The Cottage is a comedic play written by American playwright Sandy Rustin.[1] The play opened on Broadway on July 24, 2023, at the Hayes Theater after first being produced by Astoria Performing Arts Center in 2013.[2] Set in England, the play has been described as a modern take on a Noël Coward comedy.[3][4]
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 British tale of sex, betrayal, and oh yes, love ... when Sylvia Van Kipness decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover's wife.
