HARVEY GREENFIELD IS RUNNING LATE
A comedy play written by and starring Paul Richards.

A groundbreaking 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 (two runs), Reading Fringe, Barnstaple Theatrefest and Swindon Fringe the summer before. The show is currently being developed into a feature film, directed by Jonnie Howard.

?Like an alternative Ferris Bueller?the escalating web of chaos is skilfully scripted in the vein of a classic film comedy. ****? - The Scotsman

"The writing is top quality...an honest tale, very well written and performed. The dark comedy inherent in a 30 something trying to navigate an increasingly pressured world, resonates and echoes aspects of our own lives. There are laugh out loud moments, clever jokes, sharp observations, all told by a likeable, interesting and talented performer." - FringeReview

?Richards seems to have comic energy to burn?he makes Lee Evans seem narcoleptic by comparison. The result is mostly laugh-out-loud, but punctuated with sorrow. Ingeniously written and powerfully performed. ? - The Swindonian

These performances are staged in our upstairs venue.

Description

he Plough in Shepreth is a village pub with big ideas. After being closed completely for almost four years, the pub underwent an extensive transformation under its new owners, before re-opening its doors on Saturday 5th July 2014.

Here at The Plough, we aim to provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere whilst offering a variety of services to be enjoyed by both the local community and visitors from the wider surrounding area.

The “Traditional Village Pub” plays an important part in our design and mentality, yet we also recognise that the licensed trade faces many challenges in the current economic climate. Therefore The Plough offers much more than might be considered usual in a village pub. “Traditional Plus” is a phrase we find ourselves returning to frequently, and probably best sums up our overall outlook.

The Plough is a five-minute walk from Shepreth Railway Station, which itself is just a ten-minute train journey from Cambridge.
