The classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy Harvey by Mary Chase features Elwood P. Dowd, who insists on including his friend Harvey at all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Elwood is the only one who can “see” Harvey, a shapeshifting “pooka” who appears as a six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family, Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. Veta is mistakenly admitted after claiming she too can see her brother’s “hallucination” after all these years, but she is later freed. Elwood eventually arrives at the sanitarium, looking for Harvey. But it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors.
