The Curious Savage, written by John Patrick, is a comedic play about wealthy widow Ethel Savage who wishes to set up a fund to give away her husband’s fortune to people who want to follow their dreams, foolish though they may appear. In order to make her come to her senses, her small-minded and selfish children place her in The Cloisters, a comfortable and tasteful sanitarium. The play features two parallel stories: a woman trying to get her family to rescind the order to be institutionalized, and the “social misfits” who are trying cope by creating a world of their own making.
