A DELIGHTFUL COMEDIC FARCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
This Pulitzer Prize winning comedy is a much loved classic and has been performed around the world to much acclaim. Written in 1944 by Mary Chase, it became immortalized on the silver screen starring James Stewart in the 1950 film of the same same.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Elwood P. Dowd is an affable chap who gets on with everybody around him. What makes him very different from other people is that he claims to have an unlikely best pal called Harvey, who happens to be a six-foot tall imaginary rabbit. His family are concerned - but perhaps for their own reputation than Elwood's wellbeing.
Things come to a head at his niece's debutante ball, when Elwood's strange behavior threatens to ruin his family's standing in upper class society. His sister is furious at the shenanigans, and threatens to have Elwood committed to an asylum; that is, if they can catch him, and his invisible six-foot friend Harvey.
