In John Patrick's endearing and delightful comedy, The Curious Savage, we meet the lovable residents of The Cloisters, a comfortable sanatorium for the troubled. Enter blue-haired Mrs. Savage and her giant teddy bear that never leaves her side. Following the death of her dear husband, her stepchildren have committed her in an effort to acquire control of the family fortune. Mrs. Savage has other plans for the money – she is starting a fund that allows people to follow their dreams. As the hunt for the fortune intensifies, the residents come to the aid of their new friend. This show lampoons our modern day love of wealth and fame. Sad to say we haven’t changed much since the play premiered in 1950. Where is the money? Well, you’ll just have to come find out for yourself!
