One English countryside cottage. A romantic getaway. And a string of scandalous surprises in this fast, sharp comedy.
Set in a charming English countryside cottage, Sandy Rustin's razor-sharp comedy is packed with scandal and surprise. When a woman retreats for a romantic getaway, her carefully laid plans unravel as unexpected guests arrive and the complications multiply.
With witty dialogue and bold physical comedy, this modern farce turns love, marriage, and social expectations upside down. Smart, sexy, and wildly entertaining from start to finish.
It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.Noël Coward, whose comedies inspired The Cottage
Sandy Rustin's farce made its Broadway debut in 2023 to delighted, laughing crowds.
Rustin also penned the wildly popular stage adaptation of Clue, a Charleston Stage favorite.
The Cottage plays at the Historic Dock Street Theatre, whose Church Street facade has worn its wrought-iron balcony and sandstone columns since 1835.
