The Curious Savage
by John Patrick
Directed by James Walsh

An entertaining and fanciful comedy about Mrs. Savage who has been left ten million dollars by her husband and she wants to make the best use of it, despite her greedy stepchildren’s selfish attempts to get their hands on it. Mrs. Savage has put her wealth into negotiable bonds in the hope to help others realize their dreams. Her stepchildren commit her to a “sanitorium” to try to shock her to her senses. There she meets a variety of social misfits all needing the help she can provide. These wonderful people immediately endear themselves to Mrs. Savage. With their help Mrs. Savage leads her stepchildren on a merry chase! In the end we learn that kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems at times to only be motivated by greed and dishonesty.
