Paperback. 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 Noel Coward and sex comedies 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. 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. The Cottage is a romantic and (not quite) murderous comedy of manners. Fate, identity and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Updating Everyman, the quintessential Medieval morality play - a religious allegory about death and salvation performed in public places during church festivals - Jacobs-Jenkins renames Fellowship, Kindred, Goods, Discretion, Five Wits and Knowledge as Friendship, Kinship, Stuff, Mind, Five Senses and Understanding, respectively. Instead of Good Deeds following Everyman/Everybody to the grave, the role now goes to Love.
As the play unfolds, pre-recorded voiceover scenes depict four of Everybody's friends comforting them at their deathbed. Though the narrative is focused on death, the result is absurdly fun. Using small extracts and echoes from the original play alongside brilliant and original writing, Everybody highlights the paradoxes of living in the world today with its focus on the individual.
