Still Harvey Still

| Full Length | Harvey and Evan used to play in a band together. They've been best friends since high school. Then Harvey got a little too into drugs, Evan got straight-laced and settled down with a wife.... and now Evan has cancer. Harvey hasn't been a very good friend, in fact, he hasn't shown up at all.

    Ingeniously crafted and totally enthralling, first page to last. A play that somehow manages to be wacky and mind-blowing, heart-breaking and yet (sometimes) downright hilarious. Brianna Barrett graces all her characters with a distinctive, quirky humanity. Very deserving of wide production. Brava, Brianna!

    This is such a daring, innovative, and unique show. The character development was so well done and Barrett explored the nuances of both grief and life with great skill.

    Still Harvey Still is so funny and touching and surprising and beautiful. I love reading/seeing plays that explore illness/addiction in really meaningful, unexpected, honest and weird ways, and Barrett's play manages to do so in a really hilarious way, and she deftly moves between humor and pathos without sacrificing the story's complexity, ambiguity, and messiness of being a human being dealing with being a human being. And as wonderful as it is on the page, I can't wait to see a fully-realized production brought to life!
