Wasted Talent
WITHNAIL AND I
The REP, Birmingham, Tuesday 14th May 2024
Bruce Robinson’s film from 1987, which he wrote and directed, quite rightfully became a cult classic, with its depiction of decadence and squalor at the end of the 1960s. Now, Robinson adapts his own screenplay for the stage, bringing to my mind two initial questions: Will the fans be satisfied? Will newcomers get it?

Free to Those That Can't Afford it, Very Expensive to Those on Chesterfields
On Friday I was lucky enough to get a free ticket to see Withnail and I at the Rep in Birmingham.

Young Ian at the time of the Birmingham Rep in Willis Hall's play, "The Long and the Short and the Tall". He was 25 years old and he played here a british soldier who fights against the Japaneses in the Malayan jungle during the WWII. A great shot by the official photographer of the Rep: Lisel Haas.

ABBAsolutely Fabulous
THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO
The REP, Birmingham, Thursday 23rd February 2023
It’s 2015. When a Grindr hook-up between two middle-aged men turns out to be a surprise reunion between former schoolfriends, a chain of events is triggered that leads to the formation of a gender-swapped ABBA tribute act. Like it does. Ian Hallard’s wonderful script, full of barbed wit and brittle emotions beneath the…

A Holiday of Bank
What a bank holiday weekend that was! It started on Friday around lunchtime when, preparing for an evening at the Crow – I mean a night in with a discussion group on zoom – I noticed a little post on Facebook. ‘Is anyone interested in a free ticket to Withnail and I at Birmingham Rep tonight?’ it said. Was I interested? I bit the guy’s hand off, and two hours later I was on the train to Brum (you…
