An invisible white rabbit, six feet tall (or is it six feet and a half?) is the central character in this rollicking farce by Mary Chase.  The affable Elwood P. Dowd and his often hysterical sister Veta Louise Simmons come up against two bumbling psychiatrists who try to prove that Elwood's best friend, Harvey, is just a figment of his imagination.  Or is he?

"Some tea . . . perhaps?"

"And what's more, he's every bit as big as Elwood says he is!  Now don't ever tell that to anybody, Doctor.  I'm ashamed of it!"

"I jumped out at her from behind a tree.  I says, 'Sister, there's a man wants to see you!'  Shoulda heard her yell!  She's whacky, all right!"

"Allow me to give you one of my cards."

"Let Myrtle get your coat off, Veta.  Get her coat off, Myrtle."

"You got the screwiest uncle that ever stuck his puss inside our nuthouse!"

"Mr. Dowd, Dr. Chumley went into town to pick you up.  That was four hours ago."

"Wouldn't that get monotonous?  Just Akron, beer, and poor, poor thing for two weeks?"

"Why, you could amount to something.  You could be sitting on the Western Slope Water Board right now if you'd only go over and ask them."

"After this, he'll be a perfectly normal human being, and you know what bastards they are!"
