The Group Rep is proud to present THE CURIOUS SAVAGE, a gentle comedy written
by John Patrick, directed by Doug Engalla and produced for The Group Rep by Aly
York.
The play centers around Ethel Savage after her late husband leaves her ten million
dollars and she decides to establish a fund to support dreamers. But her three greedy
stepchildren commit her to a mental institution, hoping to “bring her to her senses.” In
the sanitarium, she befriends the other “guests.” Meanwhile, the stepchildren discover
that Ethel has hidden the family fortune and attempt to browbeat her into confessing
where the money has been stashed. There is a wild goose chase where the question,
“Who is really crazy and who is sane?” comes into play. With warmth, humor and
dignity, this charming play celebrates those who are often overlooked, emphasizing
kindness, affection and empathy in a world that too often rewards greed and ambition.
