I wrestled with reality for forty years, doctor, and I am happy to state that I've now got reality just where I want it!" I saw the movie version of Harvey in my heedless youth and thought it was an amusing film about alcoholism. A chance re-watching on TCM recently revealed greater depths, and I bought the play and found it a minor masterpiece of unexpected insight. I want to find out more about Mary Chase. A classic of comedic theatre. A man has a six-foot white rabbit that no one else can see. His sister thinks it's time for him to be committed. A misunderstanding at the sanitorium leads to all sorts of comedic mayhem. The ultimate question: what is the nature of reality? How do we deal with things we can't see? The characters are well drawn out, especially Elwood and Veta, and the play is just a lot of good old fun. Decide for yourself - is there really such a thing as a pooka? 4648. Harvey Comedy in Three Acts, by Mary Chase (read 6 Dec 2009) (Pulitzer Drama prize for 1945) I have seen this performed, most notably at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS, where my daughter was in the cast. I laughed so hard It hurt. The same is true when I heard the play on the radio or saw it on TV. Reading it is a less uproariously comic adventure. It is only the 4th Pulitzer-prize-winning play I've read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
