(1973) "Starring and Introduced by Billie Whitelaw." "Not I is a short one-woman play by Samuel Beckett. Not I takes place in a pitch black space illuminated only by a single beam of light. This light illuminates an actress's mouth. The mouth utters a monologue of fragmented, jumbled sentences which gradually coelesces into a narrative about a woman who has suffered an unpleasant experience. The title comes from the character's repeated insistence that the events she describes did not happen to her." Via http://www.ubu.com/film/beckett.html |
