THE FOREIGNER by Larry Shue

An inspired comic romp, equal in inventive hilarity to the author's classic comedy The Nerd, the present play enjoyed a sold out premier in Milwaukee before moving on to a long run Off-Broadway. Based on what the NY Post describes as a "devilishly clever idea," the play demonstrates what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal wtih a stranger who (they think) knows no English.
The play begins in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, 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.
Audience members will enjoy the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.
The Foreigner will be performed on April 12th at 5:30 p.m., April 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 at 7:30 p.m.
And April 15 at 2:00 p.m. on the Mainstage (D-100) at Lone Star College–Montgomery
Produced through special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service.
