   May 15, 2024 · A mix of the sublime and the ridiculous, this is a man who can fence with a sword and quote Shakespeare and yet is so desperate for alcohol he will drink lighter fluid. Adonis Siddique gives us a thoroughly anxious Marwood, the ‘I’ character who switches between speaking to Withnail and to the audience, taking us into his head and his neuroses.

   Is Adonis Siddique worth it?

   Is Siddique an effective narrator in the play?

   • In the play, Siddique portrays Marwood, the unreliable narrator and 'I' of the title, who is gentle, wary, and at times intensely paranoid, visibly uncomfortable in his own skin. Opposite him, Sheehan's portrayal of Withnail, the sozzled and self-loathing aristocrat, is filled with bumptious theatricality.

   Is Siddique a good foil to Sheehan?

   • Siddique is the ideal foil to Sheehan in a show which balances complete disregard for the consequences of each action with a total dread of them. Adding a note of winsome maturity to the tale is Withnail’s Uncle Monty, who owns the cottage where the young men take their trip.
