'The Foreigner'
Comedy by Larry Shue
Performances: July 29, 30, & 31*, August
5, 6 & 7*
Director: Patti Earl
An
inspired comic romp! "Froggy" LeSeuer,
a British demolition expert, arrives at a fishing
lodge in rural Georgia to run training sessions
at a nearby army base. "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-the evil plans
of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck
associate; the fact that the minister's pretty
fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging
revelations made with the thought that Charlie
doesn't understand a word being said. This fuels
the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up
a wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously
awry for the "bad guys" and the "good
guys" emerge triumphant.
