The Foreigner: A Comedy of Confusion and Big Laughs

Looking for a night of laughter, entertaining storytelling and old school theatre charm The Foreigner is the play to catch this February. Full of wit, twists and unforgettable characters, this hilarious comedy hits the right notes for a fun night out at the theatre in Doha.

About the Play: What Is The Foreigner About?

The Foreigner tells the tale of a pathetic, repressed man, Charlie Baker, seeking refuge from his marital problems. Seeking peace and quiet, Charlie goes to a solitary fishing lodge in the American Deep South.

So he impersonates a tourist, and says that he doesn’t know English in order to get away from the pain of small talk. What is at first a little white lie soon becomes a comedy of miscommunication. Charlie watches in silence as he gets swept into ridiculous/ludicrous situations including:

• A corrupt preacher

• The preacher’s debutant girlfriend

• Her not-so-bright younger brother

• And not even the local branch of the clan

Unable to talk but able to listen in full, Charlie inadvertently uses his condition as a way of learning secrets about people around him and turns from an unwilling eavesdropper into something of an unlikely hero. The product is a farce in high gear, guided by timing, physical comedy and a rich script.

Why You’ll Enjoy It
