HARVEY IS RUNNING LATE

Suzanne Hawkes 7 February 20238 March 2023

Thursday 6 April 2023, 7:30pm

A ground-breaking one-man piece of comedic theatre that asks a simple question: Is it possible to please everyone, all of the time? And at what cost to your family and health? In this fast and frenetic comedy, award-winning writer/performer Paul Richards explores our need to please, and why it’s sometimes healthy to, every now and then, just sit in a shed and play Subbuteo by yourself, eating biscuits and listen to
Meat Loaf.
The show ran at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 to critical acclaim. A run in the heart of London’s West End followed in early 2020, with the show also being performed at the Brighton Fringe, Reading Fringe, Barnstaple Theatrefest and Swindon Fringe the summer before. A full UK tour followed, before a triumphant return to Edinburgh in 2022.
The show is currently being developed into a feature film, directed by Jonathan Howard for Screenlooker Productions,
