The Scottish Touring Theatres Consortium and Visible Fictions present the Scottish touring debut of this much loved backstreet fairytale.

Quiet, introverted and innocent - you wouldn’t notice Little Voice in a crowd, but when she starts to sing, the stars come out…

Locked away in her room, she’s lost herself in her late father’s record collection of the great female singers of the past.She has an incredible ability for mimicking the voices she idolises but her blousey, man-chasing mother Mari couldn’t care less about this amazing talent...or her daughter.

Mari’s the centre of attention in this house so when her latest boyfriend - a would be Simon Cowell - discovers ‘Little Voice’ and decides to make her a star, the battle lines are drawn. He knows she’s got the X factor, now all he has to do is persuade her to use it!

Internationally acclaimed Visible Fictions has been delighting audiences for over 15 years - ‘the toast of Broadway’ - The Herald.  This co-production with the Scottish Touring Theatres Consortium is guaranteed to entertain young and old alike.

"playful, magical and terrifying... notices the dust in the grooves of old records and finds poetry in garish, swanky clothes or the glitterball of a rowdy northern club" (Sunday Times)

"A backstreet Cinderella story, with a built-in kick" (Guardian)
