The Rise and Fall of Little Voice

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is a new production of Jim Cartwright’s modern classic, directed by Robert Hastie and starring Francesca Mills. Shy and withdrawn, Little Voice escapes into her late father’s record collection, reproducing the voices of legendary singers including Judy Garland, Billie Holiday and Shirley Bassey. When her mother Mari’s latest boyfriend hears her extraordinary talent, he sees a route to fame and profit—but the spotlight may not be what she wants. The play is a tender, bittersweet celebration of music, ambition and finding the courage to be heard.
