Lowell, an American on a business trip, is met at the airport by a beautiful colleague. They spend the night together and he thinks he's in one of those great American movies where you go to a foreign land and there's romance and adventure and the experience changes you. The next day at the office he 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 moral, and most importantly: no subtitles.

Review:

"The Internationalist is quirky, thought-provoking" -Toledo Blade

​

"Visiting University of Toledo professor Caitlyn Tella pushes both boundaries and buttons with her direction of veteran playwright Anne Washburn’s wonderfully absurdist comedy about globalization." -Mike Pearson, Toledo Blade
