Touretteshero: Me, My Mouth and I, BBC2, 10.45pm

THEATRE-MAKER and comedian Jess Thom is best known for her award-winning stage show Backstage in Biscuit Land. She also co-founded Touretteshero, an alter-ego and project aimed at increasing awareness of Tourette’s syndrome, the neurological condition with which she was diagnosed in her early 20s. In this new film, the performer, artist and activist explores neuro-diversity in the arts through the work of Samuel Beckett and her own personal experiences. Jess takes us on a funny and unpredictable journey of discovery into one of Beckett’s most complex plays, the 1972 short dramatic monologue, Not I. She asks us to radically reconsider issues of disability, representation and social exclusion before going on to perform the role of Mouth, a woman who has been largely voiceless, but who suddenly speaks, in front of a live audience.
