    About this audiobook

    "Harvey" by Mary Chase is a whimsical and heartwarming tale that follows the life of Elwood P. Dowd, an amiable eccentric who claims to have a peculiar friend—an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey. Set against the backdrop of 1940s America, the play explores the consequences of Elwood's unconventional friendship on his relationships with his family and society. As Elwood's sister, Veta, attempts to have him committed to a mental institution, misunderstandings and comedic chaos ensue, challenging the perceptions of what is real and the importance of embracing life's enchanting mysteries. Mary Chase skillfully weaves humor, warmth, and a touch of the fantastical to create a timeless story that delves into the acceptance of uniqueness and the transformative power of unconventional connections. "Harvey" is a delightful exploration of the human spirit and the unexpected sources of joy that can enrich our lives.
