Sierra Repertory Theater’s Harvey was creatively cast,
directed and performed.
While the plot of the play is seemingly clear, the full story
unfolds with clever precision and many hilarious twists and turns, keeping the
audience engaged and wondering at the next step.
Elwood, played by Jeffrey Peters, is perfection when it
comes to speaking to his invisible friend – a 6 foot tall invisible rabbit
named Harvey. His demeanor dealing with the many feathers that Harvey’s
existence, or lack thereof, has ruffled is akin to that of a parent dealing
with obstinate young children. He is carefree and caring at the same time.
Veta, played by Jennie Donnell, is wonderfully cast as the
want-to-be high society lady of the house. Her verve throughout the play is
infectious.
Set design, though seemingly simple, was most complex and
highly creative.
Once again SRT puts on a splendid performance.
