About The Play
After the death of her father, the pathetically shy and introverted
little Voice (LV) lives the life of a recluse listening to his old records
in her room and in the process driving her loud-mouthed, abusive mother,
Mari Hoff to distraction. At night, however, when her father's ghost visits,
LV sings the songs of the great divas such as Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey
and Marilyn Monroe, imitating these great singers with surprising accuracy.
One night LV is overheard by one of her mother's sleazy boyfriends, the
disastrous dead-end talent scout Ray Say who recognises her incredible
talent and realises this is his last big chance for the glittering prizes.
Gambling everything Ray forces LV to appear at a local run-down, seedy
night club run by Mr. Boo. As preparations for the big event proceed apace
several problems arise. LV meets Billy the equally shy pigeon racing telephone
engineer and they form a tentative, gentle friendship. The big night finally
arrives and everything is in readiness the band, the club and even a big
agent from London, but what about LV?
This show brings you gritty humour, drama, romance and music. The 1998
film starred many famous names such as Michael Caine, EwanMcGregor, Jim
Broadbent, Brenda Blethyn and of course Jane Horrocks as LV. If you want
