THE FOREIGNER
by Larry Shue When Froggy drops his pathologically shy friend Charlie off at a fishing lodge for a three day escape from his stressful life, he decides to tell everyone there that Charlie is from a foreign country to help his friend avoid making conversation with strangers. Once alone, Charlie overhears damaging revelations made in his presence with the thought that he doesn't understand a word of English. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in this Obie Award-winning farce. Returning to Vermont Stage after almost 15 years, The Foreigner is sure to keep you laughing from start to finish.

"The directors and actors have to fend for themselves in recreating, say, a train and a plane crash. Even a door. In other words, expect almost no tech from the VSC’s tripartite staging, but a ton of creativity. And therein lies even more fun, as much for the directors and actors as for the audience." - Seven Days
"It might be a conceit that entertains audiences with structural sleight-of-hand more than it illuminates them, but the production — and especially the question-and-answer session with the triumvirate of directors following the presentation — does offer a few insights into the mind of a director." - Burlington Free Press
“'The Bake Off' divides a popular play into three parts, each presented by a different director and cast. This year, the play was Christopher Durang’s wacky comedy, “Beyond Therapy,” and the cast changes Tuesday were made mid-scene — seamlessly and hilariously."
- The Rutland Herald
