harveythe play
Campbell University's Department of Theater Arts Presented "Harvey" on April 7th and8th and from the 13th through the 15th. The play was first presented in the early 40's. Itis also set in this time period. It is a very care-free, take your mind off of your worriescomedic work. The main character, Elwood P. Dowd, has a invisible friend, a pookanamed Harvey, who accompanies him during his daily activities. A pooka is a mythicalcreature who appears here and there, where ever it pleases, and to whoever it pleases. Inthis case, the pooka has taken the form of a rabbit who is six feet, one and a half inchestall. Mr. Dowd lives in a large mansion with his sister, Veta Louise Simmons, and herdaughter Myrtle May Simmons. Mr. Dowd's family does not see Harvey at first, but theyElwood interacting and talking to Harvey. They become extremely worried about himseeing an imaginary rabbit and him spending all of his time with someone who doesn'teven exist. As difficult and humiliating as it is for her, Veta Louise is forced to take Mr.Dowd to Chumley's Rest, an psychiatric facility on the outskirts of t
As for the cast of the play, I believe the characters were well represented, considering thesmall amount of actors available at our school. He was full of his character and full of life every night of the play. The lights were also used to change thelook of the scene. The set, props, and costumesmade the audience feel like they were in the forties. I sawenough of it from where I was to write an educated critique on it. They get her locked and put in the hydro-room in an effort to calm her down. This is one summary of a scene from "Harvey". Campbell's production of Harvey was well done. Chumley only sees few cases when time permits. Sanderson, but as she is doing so,she becomes hysterical. Considering that the purpose of this play when it was written was to help peopleescape there problems, this production would have brought a smile to its playwright, justas it did all who attended it. VetaLouise describes her situation and Elwood's case to Dr. During the play, I moved the desk from behind the sofa and moved the flap on the movingwall, so that the library scene couldn't be seen on stage while the play was at Chumley'sRest.
