London, 1969. Fed up with damp, cold, piles of washing-up, mad drug dealers and psychotic Irishmen, a pair of substance-abusing, perpetually out-of-work actors decide to leave their squalid Camden flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside.
But when Withnail and Marwood arrive in Cornwall, it doesn’t seem much better than London – and things are not helped by the arrival of Withnail’s Uncle Monty.
Featuring organ prelude from resident organist Dave Nicholas.
In the 35 years since its release, Withnail and I has become ‘one of Britain’s biggest cult films’ (BBC). It features a debut from Richard E Grant, who will be coming to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in October to share stories of his life and career.
