About the program
From the playwright that took Clue from screen to stage, The Cottage is an outrageously roaring ’20s romp that will have you laughing from start to finish. Set in 1923 in an English country cottage, a woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband—and her lover’s wife. As secrets unravel and passions collide, the meaning of love, identity, and marriage are all thrown into question and served in a way only the British can serve it: with tea. With shocking plot twists, scandalous reveals, and razor-sharp humor, The Cottage is a deliciously funny hit comedy where no one’s secrets are safe. With a tip of the hat to Noël Coward and sex farces of the past, The Cottage offers a perfect showcase for six actors, with endless laughs, hilarious twists, daring physical comedy, and a happy ending for lovers everywhere.
This tour is an excellent way to enhance your understanding of the production and reflect upon the connections between visual arts and theater. Museum guides will meet visitors and depart from the welcome desk in Sculpture Hall. Groups are limited to 15 participants per guide.
