A Doss House in Bride Street, Dublin. An Opium Dream. <br> Time: an evening in June 1849
The poet James Clarence Mangan comes to a doss house in Dublin at the height of a cholera epidemic during the famine. He falls into a opium-drugged dream which replays the course of his own life - his escape from a bullying father, his love for his pupil Catherine Hayes and his fall into alcoholism.
