Production Description

Casting Equity actors of all ethnicities for roles in "The Cottage." Synopsis: The Cottage is a rollicking farce inspired by the works of Noel Coward. Set in the English countryside in 1923, this is a tale of sex, betrayal and, oh yes, love. The true meaning of fate, identity and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous – potentially murderous – romantic comedy.
