Mrs. Savage and guests wear the carpet out evenly. Mrs. Savage reveals the bonds hidden inside of her bear. john Carnell explores the miracle of make-up. The Curious Savage, written by Iohn Patrick, was presented on April 11-13 at Brewer High School. After becoming a widow, Mrs. Savage realiz- ed she had never done all the crazy things she had always wanted to do. She had settled down and married Ionathon Savage at the early age of sixteen. Because of her crazy actions following Ionathon's death, Mrs. Savage's three rich, spoiled children put her in an asylum called The Cloisters. The greedy children wished con- trol of ten million dollars that their father had left to her. Mrs. Savage, however, seemed to be a conservative and normal woman, aside from the fact she had an obsession: c.arrying a teddy bear with her everywhere. Mrs. Savage told them she had hidden the money. One by one she told the children of a place to look for the money. She had Lily Belle hunting inside the porpoise in the Museum of Natural History. Samuel dug under a chimney that collapsed and injured him. Titus, the senator, searched in the President's hothouse under the petunia bed. All came up empty. As a last resort the children threatened Mrs. Savage with the truth drug. Having no alternatives, Mrs. Savage revealed bonds which were hidden in- side her bear. Iust as Mrs. Savage had taken out the bonds, a patient at the asylum flipped off the lights. When the lights were finally turned back on, the bonds were gone. It was obvious that Mrs. Paddy had taken the bonds and run. Later Miss Willie revealed ashes of the bonds that Mrs. Paddy had obviously burned. The children left the asylum poor, angry, and hurt. Mrs. Savage, having no reason for staying in the asylum, was able to leave. The guests in- sisted on giving her going away presents - despite the fact they refused to say goodbye to her. Miss Willie, the staff member, also gave Mrs. Savage a present: the bonds. Miss Willie had seen that Mrs. Savage loved giving away money even if it were for foolish causes. Miss Willie knew that Mrs. Savage was quite normal and that she was only trying to enjoy her final years. It was for this reason that Miss Willie had taken the bonds when the lights went out and burned papers to make it look convincing. Mrs. Savage left the asylum with her money and memory of the wonderful people she came to know and love at The Cloisters. Play 45
