Go Back The Savage Dilemma

Ilion Little Theatre is excited to present John Patrick's sequel to The Curious Savage!

A limited number of tickets are available at the door on a first come basis even if online tickets are sold out.

Depressed and world-weary after extensive travels, the reputedly wealthy Mrs. Ethel Savage returns to the sheltered precincts of a private country club-like "sanatorium" called The Cloisters, seeking refuge among her former fellow patients.The Cloisters is on the verge of closing due to lack of funds, and as Mrs. Savage's fortune is now in the control of her greedy stepchildren, she is powerless to help. Until, that is, a young, grungy couple storm in bent on robbery – and Mrs. Savage persuades them to "kidnap" her, with her share of the ransom going to the sanitarium. From then on the plot twists and turns delightfully, as one hilarious event follows another, leading in the end to a heartwarming lesson in the essential goodness that lurks somewhere even in the worst (and sanest) of us.
