About the Play
Hilarious hospitality awaits The Foreigner in Larry’s Shue’s classic stranger comedy! When the guests of the Meeks’ Georgia fishing lodge assume their new guest doesn’t understand them, he overhears everything from the hilarious to the nefarious!
Characters
Female Identifying – 2+
Male Identifying* – 5+
| Froggy Lesueur* | A British military demolitions expert who occasionally conducts training operations in rural Georgia. Froggy is Charlie’s caring friend. (30s-40s) |
| Charlie Baker* | Also British, a science-fiction copy editor for a book publishing house, Charlie is a pathologically shy man. He is more intelligent and of greater depth than first impression gives. (30s-40s) |
| Betty Meeks | The proprietor of a Georgia fishing lodge, Betty is a widow, and a long-time friend of Froggy. She is pleasant, wise in some ways, naïve in others. She is a good-hearted, generous, “down-home” Southerner. (60s-70s) |
| Reverend David Marshall Lee* | He appears to be a pious and sincere minister, one that you would like to have on your side. He is not what he seems! (30s) |
| Catherine Simms | She has a ready wit and a sharp tongue. She badly needs someone to talk to, and, since Charlie doesn’t bother giving advice, he suits her needs perfectly. Catherine is Ellard’s sister. (20s-30s) |
| Owen Musser* | Owen is a two-tattoo man. Owen, we find, is the absolute stereotype of an ill-bred southern Klansman. (30s-50s) |
| Ellard Simms* | Catherine’s brother, Ellard is an agreeable young man who is a bit slow-witted, but may not be as dull as he seems. |
| Various townspeople |
