The play is hilarious and the actors are absolutely fantastic. I loved it! If you're looking for something fun and different to do this weekend, look no further! From the press release... Set in 1950, “The Curious Savage” is about a widow, Mrs. Savage, whose husband left her $10 million. Her grown stepchildren try to get their hands on the fortune. When they cannot, they commit the widow to a sanatorium. Mrs. Savage is determined to establish a fund to help others realize their dreams. In the sanatorium, she meets various social misfits. Her newfound friends conspire with her to get rid of the stepchildren and help her carry out her plan.

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms,

the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another 

the sense of what it is to be a human being.

--Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic--
