Bovey Tracey Players are performing The Rise & fall of Little Voice 15th - 18th May at Bovey Tracey Town Hall. Tickets £7.50 Doors open 7.00 - curtains up 7.30pm.
Twenty years ago actress Jane Horrocks amazed unsuspecting audiences at London’s National Theatre with a breath-taking range of musical impersonations in the 1992 production of Jim Cartwright’s “The Rise and Fall of Little Voice”.
This black comedy tells the story of a shy, reclusive young girl named Little Voice and her larger than life out of control mother Mari.
Desperately missing her dead father, Little Voice spends her time locked in her bedroom listening to his old record collection and perfecting astonishing impersonations of famous divas including Shirley Bassey, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland and Lulu.
When Mari starts dating small time club agent Ray Say, she thinks he's her last chance for a better life. When Ray Say hears Little Voice sing, he thinks she's his ticket to the big time. Little Voice just wants a normal life and to be loved.
Come along and enjoy a night of real theatre and true talent!
