Written by American playwright Larry Shue, The Foreigner tells the story of Charlie, a profoundly shy Brit who pretends he doesn’t speak English in order to avoid contact with guests at a Georgia bed and breakfast to which he has retreated. Initially, Charlie wonders how one acquires a personality and what it would be like to tell a funny story, arouse laughter and respect.

In pretending to be a foreigner, Charlie does not so much re-invent himself as allow his inner butterfly to escape the gray cocoon in which he has hidden for so long.
The Foreigner is scheduled to be performed on Friday, April 4 and 11, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 5 and 12, at 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 13, at 3 p.m.

All performances will be at the Hudson School Performance Space at 601 Park Avenue. Tickets are $18 for general admission; $15 for seniors/students.
