Samuel Beckett Season (4): Not I (1982x19)

Air date: Dec 15, 1982

Continues the Samuel Beckett Season. In one of the most extraordinary pieces of modern drama, Billie Whitelaw, Beckett's foremost interpreter, performs this astonishing tour de force. 'Not I' - the mouth suspended in space - caused a sensation when it was first performed at the Royal Court in 1973. Beckett himself is a great admirer of this television version.
