Season Tickets can not be applied to this event. Book your tickets early, because once they're gone.....they're gone. By the same author as last year’s sold out hit The Foreigner. Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, an ex-GI whom Willum has never met but who saved his life in Vietnam. Rick arrives unexpectedly on the night of Willium’s birthday party. Willum is delighted, until it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless nerd: a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. Rick moves in, leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence until the surprising twist ending of the play.
