Critics have called Larry Shue’s inventive, side-splitting farce one of the funniest plays ever written. The story centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect whose life is suddenly upended by an unexpected visit from a man he has never met, but who saved his life in the army. Unfortunately, the hero turns out to be a hopelessly inept “nerd” who quickly wears out his welcome. From the moment the bumbling, tactless visitor appears, everything falls apart, nearly destroying the architect’s relationships and career until his friends hatch a plan to evict the “hero.” With lovable characters and unexpected twists at every turn, this laugh-out-loud comedy also delivers an inspiring moral message.
