Overview
The time we live in is a wonder, it is both a time where we have never once been so
connected, but also have never been so alone. Double Olivier Award winner Ruth Wilson stars in Jean Cocteau's monologue of connection and loneliness as it comes to the West End.
At the start of The Human Voice, a young woman speaks to her lover on the telephone. They have been together for a good five years hence expecting this to be a regular phone call.
When the supposedly love of her life declares his plans to wed another woman, the central
character is shaken. Broken into tears over the telephone, her heart shatters over the course of
one final conversation with her former love. In an era of hyperconnectivity and loneliness,
The Human Voice explores the significance of love and embraces raw emotions.
