WATCH: Faves founder Terri Paddock coaxed Sarah Louise Hughes' #Cher impression out of her during Little Voice's post-show Q&A

Have you watched the post-show Q&A that Faves founder Terri Paddock recently hosted at The Rise & Fall of Little Voice? She managed to coax a Cher impression out of the title star, Sarah Louise Hughes, while getting to grips with the Greek tragedy of Jim Cartwright's modern classic. You now have until 11 August 2018 to see Michael Strassen's production in Cirencester...

Are women punished in drama for liking sex and drink? What has modern classic The Rise and Fall of Little Voice got in common with Greek drama? What’s the secret to vocal impressions?

I was delighted to return to Cirencester this weekend to chair my third consecutive post-show discussion at the pioneering Barn Theatre. For this revival of Jim Cartwright‘s Olivier Award-winning 1992 play with music, I was joined by director Michael Strassen and the full cast including Sarah Louise Hughes, who he cast straight out of Italia Conti to play Little Voice, Gillian McCafferty, who plays her foul-mouthed and fast-living mother Mari, Gary Richards, Larissa Hunter, Hadley Brown and Stephen Omer.

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice tells the story of a reclusive Northern girl-next-door whose remarkable ability to impersonate the great singers of old – including Cilla Black, Edif Piaf, Marilyn Monroe and many others – brings her into the spotlight. Pushed by her mother and her mother’s talent agent boyfriend RaySay, timid ‘Little Voice’ will need to conquer more than just stage-fright if she is to find her own voice in the world.

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice runs 7 July to 11 August 2018 at The Barn, 5 Beeches Road, Cirencester GL7 1BN. Performances are Mondays to Saturdays at 7.30pm, with Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm. Tickets are priced £14-£30. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE!
