A Little Time With Little Voice

Jim Cartwright's Northern fairytale comes to The Lowry, following a run at the National Theatre in London. Directed by Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky's Edge), the show stars award-winning actress Francesca Mills (Harlots; The Witcher: Blood Origin) as the titular Little Voice alongside Jill Halfpenny as her mother. A witty yet touching fable about finding your voice and sticking up for yourself, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice was first seen in 1992, with the famous film adaptation following in 1998.

What Is The Story?

A modern classic, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is the story of Laura Hoff, a young girl with incredible talent - the ability to mimic some of music's biggest divas. Monroe, Piaf, Dietrich, Springfield, and more, LV can do them all. Cowed and pushed around by a larger-than-life mother and a wannabe club impresario, she comes to learn it's not what your voice can do - it's what you do with it that counts.
