Mansfield Palace Theatre

Set in the final days of the swinging '60s, this dark comedy follows two struggling, unemployed actors—Withnail, a flamboyant and self-destructive alcoholic, and Marwood (simply referred to as “I”), his anxious, straight-laced roommate. In a bid to escape their dreary London flat, the pair embark on a disastrous countryside retreat that tests their friendship and survival skills in the most hilariously bleak ways.

Starring:

• Richard E. Grant (Withnail)
• Paul McGann (Marwood)
• Richard Griffiths (Uncle Monty)

Experience this masterpiece in the historic setting of the Mansfield Palace Theatre Lounge, a venue that began its life as the town's first purpose-built cinema, the Palace Electric Theatre, opening its doors on 13 December 1910.
