For fans of Noises Off, The Play That Goes Wrong, and Private Lives.
It’s 1923 and Sylvia wants more than to be whisked away to this charming English countryside cottage for her stale annual tryst, dammit! When her lover (and brother-in-law) Beau hesitates to commit, Sylvia throws a wrench into their carefully constructed secret with a series of scandalous telegrams, setting off a chain reaction of revelations and turning this tranquil cottage into a hotbed of hilarity!
The second production since its Broadway premiere, this brand-new, side-splitting romp is an outrageous tale of sex, betrayal, and desire. When the spouses and lovers arrive, secrets multiply, and comedic chaos ensues as the truth unravels. Will Sylvia take charge of her own destiny? Find out in this razor-sharp and witty romantic screwball comedy.
Oh, and fair warning for a potential murder.

The majority of our productions may contain sensitive material and challenging themes addressing complex societal issues. We believe that encountering these elements without prior warning preserves the full impact of the theatrical experience.
Our decision aligns with the philosophy that theatre should maintain its ability to surprise, challenge, and evoke genuine emotional responses. We feel that informing our audience about these aspects in advance may inadvertently diminish the impact and emotional resonance of the performances.
However, we also recognize the importance of fostering an inclusive and aware environment and respect the diverse experiences and sensitivities of our patrons while understanding that what may be triggering for one person may not be for another. If you have specific concerns, we encourage you to contact our box office for specific details on a performance.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to create powerful, unfiltered theatrical experiences that respect the autonomy of our audience's experience and embrace the transformative power of theatre.
