With warmth, humor and dignity, The Curious Savage celebrates those who are often overlooked, emphasizing kindness, affection and empathy in a world that too often rewards greed and ambition.
Synopsis: When Ethel Savage's late husband leaves her a small fortune, she decides to make the best of it, establishing a fund to support various dreamers with whimsical aspirations. But her three greedy stepchildren – a socialite, a senator and a judge – commit her to a mental institution, hoping to "bring her to her senses." In the sanitarium, a warm and inviting home known as "The Cloisers," Ethel befriends the other "guests," a colorful crew of kind, generous and delusional souls. In time, Ethel finds happiness with them and plans to spend the rest of her life among them.
The main entrée is Coq au Vin, a braised and roasted chicken with red wine demi-glaze. Dinner includes house salad, rolls, fresh vegetable, and a potato or rice. Dessert is a butter torte with cinnamon caramel and whipped cream. There are plant-based dinner and dessert options.
