The Rise and Fall of Little Voice

The National Theatre’s major new production of the classic story about music, ambition, and the courage it takes to be heard.

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?

Jill Halfpenny (After the Flood) and Francesca Mills (Silent Witness) play mother and daughter in this major new production of Jim Cartwright’s modern classic. A joyful, tender and bittersweet celebration of music, ambition and the courage it takes to be heard, directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge).

There will be a free touch tour before the Audio Described performance of this show. This event is for blind and partially sighted customers and provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world presented on stage by touching parts of the set, props and costumes. Please contact our Box Office to book.
