The Curious Savage
by John Patrick
Directed by Nick Cherone
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Friday June 2, 2017 through Sunday June 25, 2017

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

In this entertaining and fanciful comedy, Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of her grown-up stepchildren’s efforts to get their hands on it. Knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of the fortune, the stepchildren commit her to a sanatorium hoping to “bring her to her senses.” Her stay there drives her self-seeking stepchildren to distraction. Great for all audiences!
