The Rise and Fall of Little Voice
A tale of despair, love and hope written by English dramatist Jim
Cartwright in 1992.
Olivier award winner for Best Comedy ‘The Rise and Fall of Little Voice’
tells the heartwarming story of a reclusive Northern girl-next-door whose
remarkable ability to impersonate the great singers of old brings her into the
spotlight. Pushed by a foul-mouthed, hard-drinking mother and her equally
unappealing talent agent boyfriend, timid ‘Little Voice’ will need to conquer
more than just stage-fright if she is to find her own voice in the world.
Named as one of the top 50 plays of all time and called a “A northern
showbiz fairytale, a backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick” by The
Guardian. Directed by Award Wiinner Michael Strassen and featuring a full
professional cast, Little Voice has something for everyone.

world.”
Praise for The Rise and Fall of Little
Voice:
“A northern showbiz fairytale, a
backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick” The 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
glitterball of a rowdy northern club” Sunday Times
Please be aware that mature language, smoking and adult themes are used
throughout the show.
