The Internationalist

by Anne Washburn

Overview

Lost-in-translation business trips and global travel are put under the microscope in The Internationalist, a play of wit, romance, misunderstandings and the mysteries of communication. Lowell goes abroad on business. He thinks he's in one of those great American films where you go to a foreign land and there's romance and adventure. However Lowell soon discovers that he's not in one of those movies, he's in one of those foreign films where nothing is as it seems, where there is no clear hero, and most importantly: no subtitles.
