This 1999 fall play marked the Lee University directorial debut of Shane Fuller, the newest member of the drama faculty. Capacity crowds came to see the production in Dixon Center, a comedy set in a rural Georgia fishing lodge where an Englishman on vacation finds himself thrust into a world full of intrigue, suspense – and a lot of laughs.

The Englishman, Charlie, played by Luke Hubbard, is deposited at the lodge by his friend Froggy (Jamie Huff). His well-intentioned friend tells Betty, the owner of the lodge (Heidi Peterson) that Charlie speaks no English, and it not to be disturbed. Charlie refuses to go along until he overhears a personal conversation between the mayor (Phillip Price) and his fiancée, Catherine (Elizabeth Nelson). To keep the peace and avoid confrontation Charlie pretends he didn’t understand a word they said. As a result, Mayor David has other colorful conversations in Charlie’s presence, assuming he cannot. Charlie finds out about the secret life of good ‘ole boy Owen Musser (Joseph Martinez) and David’s plot against Catherine’s slow brother Ellard, played by Dav December.
