Chess is a metaphor for romantic and political rivalries during the Cold War. At the center is a love triangle: the ill-mannered American Grandmaster, the intense Russian champion who plans to defect, and the Hungarian-American female chess second who finds her loyalties and her love tested from both sides. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians, and spies all struggle to get the upper-hand.
Winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards, "The Foreigner" is an inspired comic romp by the Milwaukee Rep's own, the late Larry Shue. The play demonstrates what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger whom they think knows no English.
