Withnail And I

From Fri 3 May View Venues, Dates & Times

During the bohemian days of the late 1960s, two out-of-work thespians - Withnail and Marwood - leave behind them the bright lights of London in favour of what they hope will be a cathartic holiday in the countryside. But will their stay at the country home of Withnail’s flamboyantly gay uncle help reinvigorate their booze- and drug-addled brains - and in so doing inspire them to kickstart their flagging acting careers?...

Nearly 40 years after its release, the film of Withnail And I is widely considered to be one of the greatest British movies ever made - so the arrival of this brand-new and first-ever stage version will no doubt delight its legion of fans. The play has been written by Bruce Robinson - who wrote and directed the film - and is helmed by The Rep’s artistic director, Sean Foley.
