Synopsis
The Curious Savage is a lovely play, a light comedy that has a poignant message. It is set in "The Cloisters" a home for the 'bewildered', whose residents are a group of individuals not ready for the outside world. However, they readily accept and embrace the differing needs of their fellow residents.
Into this group comes Ethel Savage.Her step children believe she belongs there as she is attempting to spend her late husband's inheritance on 'foolish things' and the family are endeavouring to to recover this fortune at any cost.
With warmth, humour and dignity, The Curious Savage celebrates those who are often overlooked, emphasizing kindness, affection and empathy in a world that too often rewards greed and ambition.
