One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive,
side-splitting comedy was first presented by the Milwaukee Repertory
Theatre, then produced in Great Britain, then went on to Broadway. The
action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is
visited by a man he's never met but who saved his life in Vietnam—the
visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid "nerd"
who outstays his welcome with a vengeance.
Now an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum Cubbert
has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a
fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was
seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long
as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for
you"—so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his
apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. But his
delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless "nerd"—a
bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. And
Rick stays on and on, his continued presence among Willum and his friends
leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally
placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence—a dire development
which, happily, is staved off by the surprising "twist" ending of the
play.
