About the project: The Curious Savage is the story of an elderly widow named Ethel Savage, whose husband has left her ten million dollars which she intends to give away to people who wish to pursue their “foolish dreams.” Her step-children strongly object to this and have her committed to a sanatorium called “The Cloisters”.
