Show Synopsis: Set in a quaint family-owned cottage in the English countryside, about ninetyminutes outside of London in June of 1923, Sylvia and Beau find themselves together for their yearly rendezvous, and Sylvia knows this time it will be the beginning to their new life together. But when Beau demurs on a shared future, and their spouses arrive at the cottage, she realizes that this home-away-from-home is a refuge for determining a new path forward. The Cottage offers a perfect showcase for six actors with endless laughs, hilarious twists, physical comedy and a happy ending for lovers everywhere.
