The Curious Savage
by John Patrick
December 3-18, 2021
Directed by Iain Macpherson
Ethel Savage inherits $10 million from her late husband, a fortune contested by her obstinate stepchildren. Mrs. Savage plans to give the fortune away to those with wonderfully ridiculous dreams and aspirations. The kids intervene and have her committed to The Cloisters, a nearby sanatorium. With the ragtag residents of the home, Ethel hatches a plot to regain what is rightfully hers and question the true sanity of the outside world. The Curious Savage by John Patrick has been a joy since its premiere in 1950 and continues to tickle audiences’ funny bones today.
