Dir. Bruce Robinson, UK, 1986, 108 mins.

Have you come on holiday by mistake? Then this is the film for you. London. The 1960s. Two unemployed actors; acerbic, elegantly wasted Withnail and the anxiety ridden ‘I’, drown their frustrations in booze, pills, and lighter fluid. When Withnail’s Uncle Monty offers his cottage, they escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country. They soon realise they’ve gone on holiday by mistake when their wits, and friendship, are sorely tested by violent downpours, less than hospitable locals, and empty cupboards. Tragic, hilarious and endlessly quotable, Bruce Robinson’s semi-autobiographical film is the ultimate cult classic. If it rains, all the better!
Venue: Tinside Lido, Hoe Rd, Plymouth PL1 3DE
Doors open from 7.15pm, film starts from 9pm
FILM START TIME UPDATE: The programme should start soon after 9pm. Please note film start time might be delayed until light levels are low enough to project on the screen, but we will aim to start as close to 9pm as possible and no later than 9.30pm (information updated on 16 August).
