WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Anne Washburn's The Internationalist, a young American businessman is met at the airport by a beautiful female colleague, setting off a series of unforgettable and unforeseen experiences in a country where he does not speak the language. The play is a darkly funny exploration of what it means to be an American abroad. Ken Rus Schmoll directs.
