The Nerd
by Larry Shue

One of the funniest plays
ever written, this extraordinarily inventive,
sidesplitting comedy was first
presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater,
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!

"Shue delivers a neatly crated package
that uses some classic comic forms
to bring the audience to its knees, laughing." -
Milwaukee Journal

"The audience almost never
stops laughing - handkerchiefs wiping
away tears of merriment." - Variety

"...a spring tonic of side-bruising
laughter..." -
Milwaukee Tribune
