The Cottage (a comedy in two acts), is a rollicking farce inspired by the works of Noel Coward. Set in the English Countryside in 1923, this tale of love, sex and betrayal begins when Sylvia Van Kipness decides to expose her love affair with her husband's brother. The true meanings of fate, identity, and marriage are all called into question as a surprising and hilarious web of secrets unravel in this ridiculous, potentially murderous, romantic comedy.

SEEKING:

LOOKING FOR STRONG COMEDIC ACTORS WITH HEARTS OF GOLD AND SOLID ENGLISH ACCENTS. MUST HAVE A KEEN SENSE OF COMIC TIMING AND BE ADEPT AT FARCE.

SYLVIA, (30s) a lovely and rash romantic. Feminine, yet strong-willed, Sylvia's attempts at true love leave her frustrated and ever hopeful for a shocking turn of events.

BEAU, (30s) perhaps the best looking man in Britain. Logical to the point of pessimism. Beau is the type of fellow quite happy with the status quo, no matter what the status quo may be.

MARJORIE, (30s) 8 months pregnant, pragmatic and a tad spicy. Unflappable in every sense of the word. Unless of course, she's in labor.

CLARKE, (30s) a distinguished gent with a lover’s spirit. Always aiming to please, Clarke's kind-heartedness may lead others to take him for a fool.

DIEDRE, (20s) an awfully pretty nincompoop. Gullible is Diedre's middle name. She's awfully sweet though, if you like that sort of thing. Surprisingly capable of unexpected clarity and insight.

RICHARD (30s) a murderous, yet gentle soul. Born to be half of a soul mated duo, Richard is hell bent on finding and keeping his true love. (No matter what).

SEEKING:
