Set in a rural fishing lodge often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolitions expert from a nearby Army base. This time, Froggy has brought along a friend: a pathologically shy man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the idea of making conversation. So before departing, Froggy tells everyone that Charlie is from a foreign country and speaks no English. Assuming he can't understand, the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than he should -- like the evil plans of a sinister, hypocritical minister and his redneck associate, and other damaging revelations. The fact that he DOES understand fuels the non-stop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly unpredictable climax.

Winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production in 1985.
