RISE
AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE
Directed by Sean Duxbury
NODA Review
This was a very enjoyable production in parts, some scenes
worked, others didn't.
The fire could have been better portrayed and at times the
set was not helpful to the plot.
Little Voice (Kim Boyle), the centre of this play,
performed well until she tried her different voices, which
were not even near the people she was trying to mimic.
Which was a shame as her overall characterisation was good
and she showed that she has a very good singing voice.
I enjoyed the two performances of Mari Hoff (Gill Brown)
and Ray Say (Andrew Swindley). Gill came across well as the
mother and Andrew handled the change in his character
showing his nasty side as the show progressed.
I was a little disappointed with Barry Callander's Mr Boo.
I felt the two faces of this man did not come across as
well as I would have expected from this talented actor.
We had two lovely cameos from Billie, played with feeling
by Michael Wignall and Sadie (Alison Waugh) who was a
perfect feed for a lot of Mari's one liners. And finally
Darren Kay's workmanlike Phone Man completes this hard
working cast.
