Jean Cocteau’s intense dramatic masterpiece 'Opium' received its highly anticipated official American premiere Off-Broadway at the Edison Theatre in 1970, running for an accomplished seasonal commercial residency. Conceived as a highly innovative, textually raw solo psychological thriller monologue adapted by Roc Brynner, the claustrophobic narrative chronicles Cocteau’s actual real-life diaries, sensory hallucinations, and severe withdrawal endurances written during a clinical detox confinement inside a French asylum, starring Roc Brynner in a tour-de-force turn.
