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 (Little Brother, The Pillowman, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) and starring Nicky Harley, 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.
