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?
Francesca Mills (Silent Witness) plays Little Voice in this major new production of Jim Cartwright’s modern classic, directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge).
