Thanks, and yes, I am still reeling. "what? who? no! she!" Next time I'll read the text first though! Lisa Dwan described her claustrophobia when performing this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2013/may/08/beckett-not-i-lisa-dwan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PExdogyhY4E (I think this ...

Samuel Beckett, Not I , was amazing. It is a nine-minute monologue taking place in total darkness (not even brightly lit EXIT signs - perfectly illegal - ask a Health and Safety person).
