THE FOREIGNER

Season: 58 (2003 - 2004)

Run Date(s): Aug. 22, 2003 - Sep. 7, 2003

Description: by Larry Shue The scene is a fishing lodge in Georgia, often visited by British demolitions expert Froggy LeSueur, who runs training exercises at a nearby army base. This time he brings with him his friend Charlie, a shy young man overcome by fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So Froggy tells everyone that Charlie is a foreigner, unable to speak English. Charlie overhears many interesting ñ and some sinister ñ revelations, made with the thought that he doesnít understand a word being said. The fact that Charlie actually DOES comprehend more than anyone realizes fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax, when things go awry for the ìbad guysî and the ìgood guysî emerge triumphant.
