3.0 out of 5 stars
A useful exercise to read before you see it on stage.,
This review is from: Not I (Paperback)
There is no way that reading this play can come close, even in imagination, to approximating the strange theatrical experience. A mouth, just a mouth, suspended some feet above the stage, gabbles at speed for about fifteen minutes, as a woman, although claiming it is 'Not I', tells her life story of silent emotional repression finally released in ceaseless logorrhea, like one of Joyce's passive Dubliners finally shrieking. This verbal onslaught is counterpointed by a silent auditor figure and his physical gestures. Reading the play is very useful, however, just so you can get some idea of what the woman is saying if you ever do get a chance to see it performed.
