"Mary Chase's 1944 Pulitzer Prize winning play Harvey is a well-crafted comedy full of charm, humor and heart. Hale Centre Theatre's production features assured direction, rich creative elements, and a talented cast, including Rob Stuart in a sweet and solid performance as Elwood P. Dowd, whose best friend Harvey just happens to be a six-foot-tall rabbit....Chase's script is bright and breezy, though it does take a little while for all of the elements to come together and for the insanity of the situations to fully form. Fortunately, director Mitchell Glass treats the material with respect without forcing the comedy or pushing too fast. …Stuart never crosses over the line into caricature or cartoon but delivers a perfectly even-measured performance of a happy, loving, compassionate, and three-dimensional man. Petey Swartz is excellent as the high-strung Veta...Swartz has played this role before so she clearly has a good understanding of the character and what is needed in order to derive laughs from the crazy rants and the unfortunate situations Veta finds herself in....With wonderful performances from the entire cast, clear and concise direction, and rich creative elements, Hale Centre Theatre's production is a charmer." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
