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.
Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination. Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to submit.
