THE STORY: When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey,
a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Veta, has seen as
much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed
to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future
embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be
on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood's
hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also! The doctors commit Veta instead of
Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible
companion. When he shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it
seems that the mild-mannered Elwood's delusion has had a strange influence on more
than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn't so bad
after all.

THE STORY:The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy"
LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby
army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young
man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation
with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from
an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as
Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister
and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister's pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many
other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word
being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny
climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys"
emerge triumphant.
