4:30Now PlayingSamuel Beckett's monologue 'Not I' is a notoriously challenging text, which has been taken on by English artist Jess Thom who has Tourette's syndrome. She and her audience have to reckon with the verbal and physical tics which are a feature of her neurological condition while Jess performs strapped into a wheelchair and suspended eight feet off the ground in accordance with the stage directions. She's been speaking to Stephen Smith before 'Not I' opens on the 28th February 2018 at the Battersea Arts Centre in London.
