The Curious Savage

Written in the 1950s, this comedy is set in The Cloisters, a sanatorium full of quirky and kind patients. They welcome someone new named Mrs. Savage who has been brought in by her adult children after her behavior becomes more eccentric following her husband’s death.

As the play continues it is clear that the residents of The Cloisters, warm and good-hearted, are the opposite of Mrs. Savage’s children, who are greedy and cold. It doesn’t help that there is an inheritance of a mere 10 million dollars for them to fight over!
