SUMMARY:The Rise & Fall of Little Voice
DESCRIPTION:White Cobra Theatricals proudly presents The Rise and Fall of Little Voice\, Jim Cartwright’s Olivier Award-winning modern classic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShy and reclusive LV spends her days locked away in her bedroom\, finding solace in her father’s old records. But when she opens her mouth to sing\, something extraordinary happens: the powerful voices of countless divas pour out. \nWhen a sleazy talent scout hears her gift however\, LV is thrust into a spotlight she never asked for\, much to the annoyance of her brash\, larger-than-life mother. \nAs dreams clash with desperation\, Little Voice must find the courage to speak—and sing—for herself. \nFunny\, raw and heartbreakingly human! Don’t miss this bittersweet tale that celebrates the magic of music and the fight to be heard. \nThis amateur production of “The Rise and Fall of Little Voice” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. On behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
