The Foreigner centers on Charlie Baker Broderick, a socially phobic Englishman marooned at a Georgia fishing lodge with his friend, Froggy LeSueur Jennings. To avoid interaction with the other guests, Charlie pretends to be a "foreigner" who doesn't speak English. The locals believe this ruse and thus speak freely in front of Charlie, allowing him to discover things he was never meant to know.
The Foreigner, directed by Scott Schwartz, is scheduled to officially open off-Broadway on November 7.
