Talk about working from home. . . . Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat chronicles the story of how Mary Chasea housewife with three children from a working-class Irish community in Denver, Colorado became a Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright for Harvey, a Broadway comedy about a gentle soul and his invisible six-foot-and-one-half-inch-tall rabbit friend.
