Harvey
Shakespeare at Sweet Briar: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
One of the things I love about writing for Appomattox News is that it gives me – an introvert – a chance to get out more often. On a recent outing, I met Geoffrey Kershner and a number of the folks involved with the Endstation Theatre Company at Sweet Briar College. It was such a good experience, I planned to see as many of the group’s productions as possible during the Blue Ridge Summer Theatre Festival.

Elwood P. Dodd seems to have a problem, or at least his sister – Veta Louise Simmons – thinks he does. He talks to himself, you see, though he’s convinced that he’s actually speaking…to a six foot rabbit named Harvey. Of course Elwood’s story takes place just a few years back, a time when it wasn’t cool to talk to yourself or to unseen rabbits.
