2: ‘The Foreigner’
Charlie Baker needs to get away, so when he arrives at a remote fishing lodge, it seems harmless enough to say he is foreign and speaks no English. But the plan backfires when the lodge’s inhabitants reveal deep secrets and diabolical plans in front of their quiet “foreign” guest and what seemed like a serene getaway turns into mayhem. “The Foreigner” first appeared in 1984, winning the Obie for Best Off-Broadway production.
