The Foreigner at State Theater

Larry Shue’s The Foreigner proves how easily secrets and prejudices can tip a friendly gathering into something far more dangerous. When a painfully shy Englishman lands at a rustic Georgia lodge, his fear of small talk inspires a harmless fib: he doesn’t speak English! When overheard asides set off chaos, Charlie’s accidental silence becomes a mirror: what might we learn if we actually listened? In the spirit of screwball mayhem meets rustic intrigue, each new confession detonates laughoutloud chaos. Quiet no more—Charlie’s about to speak volumes.
