What’s The Cottage about?
Broadway’s brand-new, side-splitting farce is an outrageous tale of sex, betrayal, and desire as one woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband — and to her lover’s wife. The true meaning of fate and faith, identity and infidelity, love and marriage are all called into question as a surprising and hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculously funny romantic comedy.
“To be a Broadway director doing a new and delicious comedy with a team and cast I adore is the definition of a dream come true. I am incredibly excited to bring this hysterical play to an audience that is ready to laugh and have a fantastic time,” says Alexander, who earlier this year also launched the iHeart podcast Really, No Really with longtime creative partner and talk radio host Peter Tilden.
