CAST
Sylvia-
Beau –
Marjorie –
Clarke –
Dierdre –
Richard –
The Cottage is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.
Directed by Jeremy Woloski
Auditions
December 14th & 16th
6-9pm
Sylvia and Beau find themselves in an English countryside cottage for their yearly rendezvous, and Sylvia knows this time it will be the beginning of their new life together. But when Beau demurs on a shared future, and their spouses arrive at the cottage, she realizes that this home-away-from-home is a refuge for determining a new path forward and decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover’s wife. With a tip of the hat to Noël Coward and sex comedies of the past, The Cottage offers a perfect showcase with endless laughs, hilarious twists, daring physical comedy and a happy ending for lovers everywhere. 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, uncharacteristically feminist 1923 British tale of sex, betrayal and love.

CHARACTERS
SYLVIA VAN KIPNESS: Female- 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: Male- “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: Female- Extremely pregnant (8 Months), pragmatic and a tad spicy. Unflappable in every sense of the word. Unless of course, she’s in labor.
CLARKE: Male- Distinguished gent with a lover’s spirit. Always aiming to please, Clarke’s kind-heartedness may lead others to take him for a fool.
DIERDRE: Female- A pretty, sometimes wise, 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 Male- 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).
