Dowd, a good-natured, mild-mannered eccentric who is known in all of the cafeterias and saloons in his small town.

Wherever he goes, he brings an extra hat and coat for Harvey, and he buys theater tickets and railroad tickets in twos so that they can go everywhere together. His sister and her daughter try to have Elwood committed to the local sanitarium, where the behavior of the prominent psychologist and his staff raise the age old question of who is more dangerous to society: the easy-going dreamer with a vivid imagination or the people who want him to conform to the accepted version of reality.

11. Silence! The Court is in session “ Silence! The Court is in Session” is a play set against the social backdrop of small town India of the 1970s. Originally penned in Marathi by the noted playwright Vijay Tendulkar, the play exposes the double standards which were largely prevalent in the Indian society in those days and how its members, rather playfully, vilify a woman protagonist for an adulterous affair. The play is political and social satire on middle-class society's hypocrisy. It is set as a play-within-a-play, where a travelling amateur theatre group, makes an unscheduled stop at a village.
