The Foreigner
By Larry Shue
Directed by Dave Wright
 

Persons of the Play:


S/Sgt. "FROGGY" LeSUEUR
M, "late forties, perhaps," British Army sergeant, "well-fed, flushed with the spirit of adventure"


CHARLIE BAKER
M, same age as "Froggy," also English, "standing in his forlorn trenchcoat, [he] seems quietly, somehow permanently, lost;" "I've sat behind my grey little proofreader's desk for twenty-seven years"


The rest of the characters are from rural Georgia:


BETTY MEEKS
F, "more than seventy... like, everyone, is wise about some things and naive about others"


REV. DAVID MARSHALL LEE
M, 20s-30s, "a friendly, open face... He seems rather to be a regular fella -- humorous, and open, it would appear, a good young man to have on our side."


CATHERINE SIMMS
F, 18 or 20, fiancee of David and pregnant by him when the action of the play begins, "formidable little figure... basilisk stare from her pretty face"


OWEN MUSSER
M, 20s-40s, "dank presence... Psychologists tell us to beware of a man with two tattoos. One, he may have gotten on a drunk or a dare. But two means he went back. Owen is a two-tattoo man. "


ELLARD SIMMS
M, Catherine's younger brother, "There doesn't, we must admit, seem to be much to Ellard. He is a lumpy, overgrown, backward youth, who spends much of his time kneading something tiny and invisible in front of his chest."
