⭐ ROBERT SHEEHAN, ADONIS SIDDIQUE & MALCOLM SINCLAIR ANNOUNCED FOR WORLD PREMIERE STAGE ADAPTATION OF WITHNAIL AND I ⭐
Intial casting has been announced for the world premiere stage adaptation of Bruce Robinson’s 1987 British tragi-comedy film WITHNAIL AND I.
BAFTA and IFTA nominated Irish actor Robert Sheehan will star as Withnail, alongside Adonis Siddique as Marwood with Malcolm Sinclair as Uncle Monty.
The show will have its premiere at the Birmingham Rep, directed by the double Olivier Award-winning artistic director of Birmingham Rep, Sean Foley and designed by Alice Power.
Written and adapted for the stage by Bruce Robinson himself, the writer and director of the original film. The film, based on Robinson‘s own unpublished novel, was produced by Handmade Films and starred Richard E Grant, Paul McGann and Richard Griffiths.
Regarded as one of the finest British film’s ever made, this world premiere stage version brings to life the classic dialogue, the insane situations, and above all the boozy, irresistibly hilarious relationship of one of the most famous slacker duo’s ever created…
Produced for the stage by Birmingham Repertory Theatre alongside Handmade Films and George Waud for Groove International.
WITHNAIL AND I will play the Birmingham Rep, running from 3rd – 25th May 2024, with tickets on sale now.
Fantastic! ! !
