Nuttiness abounds in this outrageous comedy by the writer of The Foreigner. Willum Gilbert has it all: a promising career as an architect, devoted friends, maybe a serious girlfriend. But then Rick Steadman, the ultimate social misfit, comes to visit and puts everything in peril. The Nerd escalates into madcap farce as Willum tries to out-nerd his sanity-destroying houseguest and discovers what really matters in life.

Description

Now an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willium 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 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.
