Synopsis

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice - ACTING EDITION

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice - ACTING EDITION $12.99

Jim Cartwright

Published by Samuel French Ltd

3 Male 3 Female

Blown fuses, real and metaphorical, punctuate the action with flashes of pent up energy in this acclaimed play

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
