At ArtsWest: THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE, by Jim Cartwright (March 7 – 31, 2012)

Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, 1993

In a working class town in Northern England, Mari Hoff is desperate for the elixir that will make her feel alive. And she’s not the only one. Her teenage daughter, LV is a shut in who lives by the light of the records left by her father. Turns out she’s a prodigy who can perfectly imitate the great vocalists she loves. Enter a seedy talent agent with big plans for Little Voice’s future, and a quiet young phone man with his own electric dreams, and you have a delirious burst of light to lift us all.
