1. Harvey
This play centers around Elwood P. Dowd, a mild-mannered and affable man whose best friend is Harvey, a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall invisible rabbit. Elwood's unwavering belief in his peculiar companion exasperates his social-climbing sister, Veta, leading her to attempt to commit Elwood to a sanitarium. However, a comedy of errors ensues when the doctors mistakenly target Veta instead, questioning her sanity. As the search for Elwood and his invisible companion intensifies, the characters are drawn into a series of farcical situations that ultimately challenge their perceptions of reality and the value of nonconformity, friendship, and kindness in a world that often prioritizes appearances and normality.
