Synopsis
The Rise and Fall of Little Voice - ACTING EDITION
Published by Samuel French Ltd
3 Male 3 Female
The diminutive heroine frequently plunges the dilapidated house she shares with her alcoholic mother into darkness by playing her dead father's records at a volume matched only by the soulful power of her vocal impressions
Little Voice has a hidden talent: she can emulate every chanteuse from Judy Garland to Edith Piaf
She hides in her room, crooning and dreaming of love, while her disheveled mother mistakes a seedy agent's interest as affection rather than enthusiasm for the gold mine buried in her daughter's throat
This is an engaging fairy tale of despair, love and finally hope as LV finds a voice of her own
