SYNOPSIS
Painfully shy and socially inept Charlie retreats to a fishing cabin in Georgia to escape his unhappy marriage in England. Since he is unwilling to meet new people, his buddy Froggy creates a perfect ruse: to pretend that Charlie is a foreigner who doesn't understand a word of English. Once Froggy leaves, the visiting guests (some good, some not so good) freely reveal their secrets in front of the ‘foreigner'. Through his careful disguise, Charlie discovers that a plot is afoot and becomes the
hero of the day, foiling the evil doers' plan in a side-splitting rescue effort.

2nd Story Theatre is partially funded by the Rhode Island State Council for the Arts.
