Remorse, or, The Sorrows of Samuel Taylor Coleridge
By Robin Brooks. Drama about Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ill-fated friendship with William Wordsworth and his infatuation with Sara Hutchinson. With Alex Waldmann and Tim McInnerny.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge promised to be the genius of his generation, but his creative achievement was contaminated by chronic procrastination, addiction and hallucination. Robin Brooks's inventive play tells the story of Coleridge's ill-fated friendship with William Wordsworth and his infatuation with Sara Hutchinson.
At the crisis of a major breakdown, and suffering from a massive laudanum overdose, Coleridge is forced to review the train-wreck of his life. In an opium nightmare his crimes rise up to accuse him, and a court of friends and enemies is assembled to review the experiences that have brought him to this pass.
