Hiliarity ensues in this Camden Community Theatre Production by Larry Shue.
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy"
LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training
sessions at a nearby army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a
friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome
with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So
"Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an
exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really
begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a
sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that
the minister's pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging
revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word
being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and
sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for
the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.
