The Rise and Fall of Little Voice

Alone in the sanctuary of her small bedroom, Little Voice fills the air with pitch‑perfect renditions of her deceased dad’s prized record collection of the great divas, from Judy Garland to Billie Holiday.

But when her mother Mari’s latest fling, local wheeler-dealer Ray, hears her sing he’s certain he’s struck gold. Will Little Voice be pushed into a spotlight she never asked for?

The National Theatre presented the premiere of this modern classic back in 1992, which then went on to Broadway and beyond before being turned into a hit Oscar-nominated film that picked up a slew of BAFTAs including Outstanding British Film.

Now Little Voice is coming back to the South Bank, with the superb Francesca Mills (who played Ophelia in the National Theatre’s most recent production of Hamlet) in the lead role, directed by Robert Hastie (Standing Under the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat).
