| The Curious Savage |
May 5-7 & 10-14
Schenectady Civic Players
Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best of it, in spite of her step-children's efforts to have her committed to "bring her to her senses" and thus gain access to her fortune. The dominant mood is high comedy, and the audience is left with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems at times motivated only by greed and dishonesty.
