Everyone should have a best friend, someone they can spend their time with, someone they can tell their deepest darkest secrets to, someone who’ll always be there for them.

For Elwood P Dowd that friend is Harvey, kind, helpful and always around to keep Elwood company, Harvey is the perfect friend … except for the fact that he is also a 6ft tall talking rabbit who happens to be invisible to everyone but Elwood.

With a sister looking to have him locked up forever in an insane asylum and a niece out for his fortune, it’s up to Elwood to show the world that just because something doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t mean that it’s not real, in this classic tale of family, love and most importantly of all, friendship.
