THE COTTAGE
By Sandy Rustin
June 12–28, 2026
Lucie Stern Theatre, Palo Alto
Described as Broadway's fastest, flirtiest, and friskiest new comedy, THE COTTAGE is an outrageous tale of desire, betrayal, mistaken identities, and unraveling secrets. When one woman decides to reveal her latest affair to both her husband and her lover's wife, a simple weekend getaway quickly spirals into hilarious chaos.
A side-splitting romp, The Cottage has been called:
"A sensational, feminist twist on a classic British period drama." — Entertainment Weekly
and
"In the style of Noel Coward…if Coward oversaw the unlikely consummation of Seinfeld and Downton Abbey." — Theatrely
If you enjoy witty comedies, sharp dialogue, and farcical mayhem, this is one show you won't want to miss.
