Blending razor-sharp w it with melancholy and absurdity\, the film captures the fading embers of the 1960s through the misadventures of two out-of-work actors clinging to dreams of grandeur.\nAt its centre is Withnail\, played with flamboyant br illiance by Richard E. Grant in a career-defining performance. Opposite hi m is his anxious and unnamed flatmate\, known simply as “I”\, portraye d by Paul McGann. Desperate to escape their squalid Camden flat\, the pair retreat to the countryside for what they hope will be a restorative holid ay. Instead\, they encounter hostility\, hunger and the creeping realisati on that time and circumstance are not on their side. A memorable supportin g turn from Richard Griffiths as the exuberant Uncle Monty only adds to th e film’s chaotic charm.\nBy turns hilarious and quietly poignant\, Withn ail and I is more than a comedy. It is a sharply observed portrait of frie ndship\, failure and the end of an era\, delivered with unforgettable dial ogue and unmistakably British bite.\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n[tt-event url='https ://www.tickettailor.com/checkout/new-session/id/7747717/chk/c78c/?ref=webs ite_widget&\;show_event_filter=false' minimal='true' bg_fill='false' sh ow_logo='false' inherit_ref_from_url_param='' ref='website_widget']\n\nThe Film Show often sells out\, so please book early.\n\nIf you’re unable t o buy tickets online\, you can purchase them in advance at the Library.
