Mary Coyle Chase's Harvey
has been an American favorite since it was first brought to the Broadway stage in 1944. The play won the
Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1944, and its initial run lasted for four years
1,775 performances. The story is about Elwood P. Dowd, a good-natured,
mild-mannered eccentric who is known in all of the cafeterias and saloons in his
town.. Elwood is polite and cheerful and always
friendly toward any strangers he might encounter, and he has just one
problematic character trait: his best friend is an invisible six-foot-tall
rabbit, Harvey.
Wherever he goes, he brings an extra hat and coat for Harvey, and he buys theater tickets and
railroad tickets in twos so that they can go everywhere together. His sister
and her daughter try to have Elwood committed to the local sanitarium, where
the behavior of the prominent psychologist and his staff raise the age-old
question of who is more dangerous to society: the easy-going dreamer with a
vivid imagination or the people who want him to conform to the accepted version
of reality.
