July 10 – August 2, 2026

“Sidesplitting screwball comedy… The Cottage is a fresh and fiercely fun play that’s firing on all cylinders with Rustin’s excellent script.” – Entertainment Weekly

“Positively delightful… frothy and effervescent.” – TheaterMania

With a tip of the hat to Noël Coward and sex comedies of the past, this side-splitting romp is an outrageous tale of sex, betrayal, and desire as one woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband — and to her lover’s wife. The true meaning of fate and faith, identity and infidelity, love and marriage are all called into question as a surprising and hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculously funny, potentially murderous, romantic comedy.

“A naughty romp… Amid the old-fashioned trappings, Rustin nestles a welcome modern sensibility to the plot’s skirmishes of the sexes.” – Time Out New York
