Hannah and her Dad live in parallel worlds, they live together... but apart.

Hannah's world is her bedroom. She loves to paint and to dream - blue skies, soaring eagles flying over white-tipped mountains and clear blue lakes. In her world, she has one real friend, a seven feet invisible rabbit called Harvey.

But lately, the worlds she creates in her art have become darker and scarier, places full of black clouds and spiders... and she is finding it harder and harder to return home. She doesn't leave her bedroom much any more.

Dad's world is the adult world of parenting and responsibility. But he is worried. For a long time he's found it hard to talk to Hannah and it's been even more difficult recently.

Then their two worlds collide in a big rabbit shaped explosion!

Unsuitable for children below the age of ten.

"Paul Rissman's superb original score drives the work along and the bright, colourful images created by illustrator, Helen Nunn (the real life inspiration for Hannah) are projected onto the stage in a show of beautiful theatricality"
THE LIST

"by the time we get to a boxing match the young people in the audience are cheering Hannah to victory, letting their own imaginations run free"
THE HERALD (4-STARS)

"The juiciest role is that of Harvey itself, and Clare Waugh rises to the chlallenge - simultaneously funny and sinister, she plays the part with the combination of absurd abandon and control her character requires"
Sunday Herald

"bold and imaginative"

"Romana Abercromby gives a strong performance as Hannah"
