Harvey

BRILLIANT!

I had seen the film with James Stewart several times and loved it but I was not sure how I would feel about watching Harvey performed as a play. It turned out that the production was a real gem. The play was whimsical and amusing with a tinge of magic. Some of the reviews in the papers did not do the play justice; James Dreyfuss gives a spellbinding performance as Elwood P. Dowd and gives life to Harvey. Maureen Lipman is irritating in a good way as his rabbit hating sister Veta. The interaction and comic timing between all the characters was second to none and ensured the laughs kept on coming. If you can suspend reality and believe in a 6ft 3 inch white rabbit for two hours then this is definitely the play for you! Don’t think twice, go to see this play which is soon coming to a theatre near you.
