Live theatre lets me experience some great audience reactions but my current favourite is when I was watching The Crucible and somebody went 'oooooh' when John forgot to say adultery in the ten commandments.
OPENING NIGHT WENT PRETTY WELL ACTUALLY! i was very very very anxious like all day and right before i was so fucking close to breaking down but after sitting on the ground and making sure i was breathing until we started i was more ok.
so today and tmr we have shows and hopefully i won’t majorly fuck up :D jkjk I KNOW I WONT
Robert Sheehan has been cast in the play, Withnail and I. (Brain explodes, can barely see as I type.) As Withnail. (Just pops entire head off, never to be seen again.)
If you’ve ever seen the original movie, you are already screaming in joyful exuberance.
Rob will play the deranged one at left.
I swear, on everything, this could not be a better casting. The manic roller coaster of Withnail being the bad influence from hell is literally a Robert Sheehan dream role. Like possibly award-winning if he doesn’t bungle it.
Withnail is a force of chaos who electrifies every room he enters, with incredibly compelling charisma that guarantees he’ll get away with every insane thing he does. He drags his best friend into every risky, certain to fail, sketchy, and rent avoidant adventure. Lots and lots and lots of intoxication. The drug deal is piss-your-pants funny, as is the dishwashing scene. Dishwashing? Yes, dishwashing is sidesplittingly funny. Uncle Monty will have you pissing everyone’s pants.
This is Role of a Lifetime level shit for Robert Sheehan. Here’s hoping it moves to London and on to Broadway. (This character deserves a film franchise, Withnail is that addictive.)
2 of my Top 10 favorite movie characters of all time. (Left: Paul McGann as I; Right: Richard E Grant as Withnail.)
Watch the original movie and improve your life in one easy step.

Thanks for asking, yes, the poster art is indeed by THE Ralph Steadman.
How exciting! BC back "trodding the boards"! He always said that when his children were older he'd like to return to the stage. I hope this comes to fruition soon!
