A Gentle Comedy
When Ethel Savage’s late husband leaves her ten million dollars, she decides to establish a fund to support dreamers. But her three greedy stepchildren commit her to a mental institution, hoping to “bring her to her senses.” In the sanitarium, she befriends the other “guests.” Meanwhile, the stepchildren discover that Ethel has hidden the family fortune, and attempt to browbeat her into confessing where the money has been stashed. There is a wild goose chase where the question, “Who is really crazy and who is sane?” comes into play. With warmth, humor and dignity, this charming play celebrates those who are often overlooked, emphasizing kindness, affection and empathy in a world that too often rewards greed and ambition.
