The Curious Savage
By John Patrick
Directed by Shelly Riggs

"Nothing makes the truth look so shabby as a magnificent lie."

The Curious Savage is a charming, bittersweet comedy by John Patrick about a wealthy widow whose greedy stepchildren have her committed in an attempt to control her inheritance. The play, which skewers notions of "sanity" with warmth, humor and dignity, is filled with delightful, unforgettable characters and remains as relevant today as when it was written.
