This well-preserved first edition of Larry Shue’s acclaimed play “The Foreigner” offers a delightful glimpse into the world of small-town America and the misunderstandings that can arise from cultural differences. Originally performed in 1983, the play received two Obie Awards and was revived multiple times, cementing Shue’s reputation as a master of comedic storytelling. Set in a rural Georgia fishing lodge, the story follows the hilarious misadventures of a shy Englishman mistaken for a foreigner who cannot speak English. Shue’s clever dialogue and endearing characters explore themes of prejudice, communication, and the universal desire for human connection. This edition provides a rare opportunity for collectors and theater enthusiasts to own a piece of American dramatic history and appreciate Shue’s enduring legacy before his untimely passing in 1985 at the age of 39.
