A brand new version by Daniel Raggett of Jean Cocteau’s classic text La Voix Humaine, opens Ellen McDougall’s second season at the Gate Theatre, 34 years since it was first produced at the venue. The Human Voice, directed by Daniel Raggett and starring Leanne Best opens on 13 September and runs until 6 October.
A woman, a phone call, a final conversation
In this extraordinary and prophetic monologue, a woman fights for the person she loves. Jean Cocteau’s iconic play explores our desperate need for human relationships – and the machine that changed them forever.
The Human Voice is produced with thanks to the Comité Jean Cocteau.
