The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice Book a show and hotel from a selection of London Theatre Breaks The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is coming back to the West End in an exciting new production to play introducing Diana Vickers as Little Voice. The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is a savage black comedy-drama about painfully shy, diminutive Little Voice (LV), who lives alone in the north of England with her mother, Mari. Mari’s drunken, overbearing personality has driven LV into seclusion in her bedroom, where she listens to her late father’s records and has perfected faultless impersonations of the greatest divas, including Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey. When Mari’s latest boyfriend, small-time working men’s club impresario Ray Say, overhears LV singing, he puts in place a tragic sequence of events as he pushes her towards stardom she doesn’t want and is literally terrified of. The first major West End revival since it premiered at the National Theatre and the Aldwych Theatre where it won the 1992 Evening Standard and 1993 Olivier Award for Best Comedy Written by multi-award winning playwright Jim Cartwright (Road, Bed, Two) and directed by Terry Johnson (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Hitchcock Blonde, The Graduate, Entertaining Mr Sloane). Further casting and full creative team will be announced soon. What the papers said in 1992 “The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is a cracker, original, hilarious and hauntingly sad” – Daily Telegraph “A northern showbiz fairytale, a backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick” – Guardian “Like everything Cartwright writes, little voice is playful, magical and terrifying, a view of the world from an unexpected angle, perpetrated by an imagination that notices the dust in the grooves of old records and finds poetry in garish, swanky clothes or the glitter ball of a rowdy northern club” – Sunday Times |
