1820 - Edinburgh. Thomas De Quincey, shivering in his dingy lodgings below a Grassmarket brothel, scribbles away desperate to meet a deadline which has already passed. Driven by demons from without and within the writer is dependent on his companion, the simple-minded Willie, for the Laudanum he craves. By turns electrifying, richly comic and deeply moving, this compelling portrait of a bizarre and symbiotic relationship: the flawed English man of letters and his sly, far from dim-witted Scots servant.Other listings | |
