What does a shy Englishman in search of rest do when he visits a fishing lodge in America? In Larry Shue’s hilarious farce, Charlie Baker, a proofreader by day and a boring husband by night, adopts the persona of a “foreigner” who doesn’t understand English. When others begin to speak freely around him, he not only becomes privy to secrets both dangerous and frivolous, he also discovers the adventurous extrovert within.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in November of 2002.
