Content Advisory for this production.

 

Betty Meek's fishing lodge in rural Georgia is a sleepy little place-until Charlie Baker shows up, speaking a strange language and claiming to understand no English. An uproarious, side-splitting comedy, The Foreigner has had audiences rolling in the aisles for over twenty years.

“Froggy” LeSueur and Charlie Baker are two Englishmen who have come to Betty Meek's Fishing Lodge in rural Georgia for a little rest and relaxation. Depressed over his failing marriage, Charlie wishes to avoid conversation with strangers, and Froggy comes up with the idea of telling the locals that Charlie neither speaks nor understands English. Over the course of the next several days, Charlie becomes privy to some outrageous - and very funny - information as the locals confide their secrets to a man they believe can't understand a word they say.
