Samuel Beckett's Not I is an intense monologue always staged in a pitch black space lit by a single beam of light. The most difficult of Beckett's works to perform, the legendary Billie Whitelaw described it as 'falling backwards into hell, omitting screams'. Mentored by Whitelaw – 'I am passing the baton on to her. I have given her all the notes that Sam gave me' - Lisa Dwan gives us a flavour of her own critically acclaimed performances and discusses Not I, including filmed extracts, with Dr. Keston Sutherland, teacher of English and Critical Theory at Sussex University.
