Opium Eater by Andrew Dallmeyer

"As de Quincey scribbles away in abject poverty, buoyed up by narcotic sustenance, desperately trying to meet deadlines for Blackwood his publisher, he is accompanied by a pickpocket and simpleton, Willy. The brilliant loquacious addict and the affably childish dimwit are drawn together by circumstance and a mutual need. The wonderful mastery of image in the author's work is reflected in the dialogue."
Robert Gore Langton

 

"Dallmeyer's play combines an exuberent eccentricity with a genuine passion for words and a powerful economy of expression."
Time Out

"... one of the best things I have ever seen in fringe theatre."
