The Cottage-A Comedy Behind Closed Doors at StageDoor Theatre

Written by Sandy Rustin

Step into a world of wit, charm, and unexpected twists with The Cottage, a delightful new comedy by Sandy Rustin. Set in a picturesque English countryside cottage, this play is a rollicking tale of mistaken identities, secret affairs, and a love triangle gone hilariously awry.

When a glamorous woman named Sylvia invites her former lover, Peter, to her cozy getaway for a weekend rendezvous, she’s hoping for a romantic escape. But when Peter unexpectedly arrives with his new fiancée, the plot thickens—especially when Sylvia’s estranged husband shows up uninvited, and her best friend complicates matters further. What ensues is a whirlwind of comical misunderstandings, sharp dialogue, and delightful farce, as the characters find themselves in a tangled mess of romance, rivalry, and intrigue.

With its clever script, endearing characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, The Cottage combines the best elements of classic British farce and contemporary humor, offering a rollicking exploration of love, lust, and the unpredictable chaos of life. Rustin's sharp, fast-paced writing and playful exploration of human relationships make this an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Ideal for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong or Noises Off, The Cottage is a must-see for anyone looking for a night of escapist fun and infectious laughter.
