Set in a rural Georgia fishing lodge, this broadly funny comedy follows Charlie, an Englishman too shy to engage with other vacationers. He's seemingly rescued by a fellow guest, who suggests to the others that he's a foreigner who knows no English. But when his cabin mates begin to unleash a torrent of their deepest secrets and devious -- and possibly dangerous -- scandals to him, Charlie discovers an adventurous streak he never knew he had. The Foreigner won two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards as Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production.

Excellent acting. You have to like broad silly humor to really like it.

This was an outstanding performance. It started out funny and then the second half built to a hilarious crescendo. Very well done and I recommend it highly.

Description

Written By Larry Shue
Directed By Tim Gregory

This award-winning comedy classic is based on a devilishly clever idea, demonstrating what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they think) knows no English! The fact that he does fuels the non-stop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go ridiculously awry for the “bad guys” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant. A constant invitation to relax and laugh at the foolishness of life, The Foreigner has quickly become one of America’s favorite comedies!

This production is suitable for adult and teen audiences.
