The Human Voice
Prime Cut Productions, Ireland’s leading independent and award winning theatre company, return with their critically acclaimed new version of Jean Cocteau’s The Human Voice, by Darren Murphy.
Directed by award-winning Emma Jordan (Faith Healer, The Pillowman, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) and starring Nicky Harley, (The Beauty Queen of Leenane, Dancing at Lughnasa), in a performance described as “fabulous” and “riveting” this new version is a radical reimagining of Cocteau’s work, “an impeccable piece of theatre.”
It is a contemporary Belfast story of a woman juggling love and work, as emotional and psychological demands on her time from a desperate client interrupts the devastation of her final call with the lover who abandons her. Pushed to her limits, she must negotiate a treacherous path between her private and public worlds. Heartache is not the aching, luxurious business it used to be.
Do not lose your opportunity to see this unmissable
production.
‘Nicky Harley is fearless...supreme, instinctive’
★★★★★ The Stage
