The Foreigner

by Larry Shue

Winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards!

"The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by 'Froggy' LeSueur, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time 'Froggy' has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So 'Froggy' before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should!"

Content Warning: This show contains themes of racism and white supremacy. It condemns both.
