WITHNAIL AND I

Written and directed by Bruce Robinson

Paul McGann
Richard E. Grant

Premiere date: June 19, 1987
R

Two unemployed and unemployable actors, Withnail and Marwood, are fed up with damp, cold, piles of washing-up, mad drug dealers and psychotic Irishmen. They decide to leave their squalid Camden flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside, courtesy of Withnail's Uncle Monty's country cottage. But when they get there, it rains non-stop, there's no food, and their basic survival skills turn out to be somewhat limited. Matters are not helped by the arrival of Uncle Monty, who shows an uncomfortably keen interest in Marwood.
