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!
