A quiet fishing lodge nestled in the Georgia countryside becomes a surprising hotbed of secrets when a painfully shy British visitor, Charlie Baker, concocts a desperate scheme to avoid conversation: he pretends to be a foreigner who understands no English. What begins as a simple ruse quickly spirals into a hilarious and suspenseful situation as Charlie inadvertently becomes the confidante of the lodge's eccentric inhabitants. Unaware that he understands every word, they reveal their hidden agendas, personal dramas, and even a dangerous plot unfolding right under his nose. As the lies and secrets pile up, Charlie finds himself caught in a web of intrigue, forced to maintain his charade while navigating a world of unexpected danger and hilarious misunderstandings. Written by the acclaimed American playwright Larry Shue, known for his farcical comedies and witty dialogue, The Foreigner has earned widespread critical acclaim for its clever plot twists, memorable characters, and enduring appeal.
