Samuel Beckett Not I (1973)

1973 Starring and Introduced by Billie Whitelaw 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.
