The Curious Savage
The Curious Savage, directed by Morgan McLeod, opened on Thursday evening. A charming comedy that takes place in what we once referred to as a "mental institution," revolves around the struggle between a wealthy widow and her three greedy and ambitious children who have had her committed for hiding her fortune from them. Shawnigan's cast handled the material with sincerity and maturity even though five of the characters were harmless and humorous residents of the asylum. Reminiscent of another play of the same era, Harvey, the rich widow has decided to live life less seriously and more whimsically. The audience was treated to strong performances by every member of the cast.
