The Human Voice

‘I’m whispering into your ear – and we couldn’t be further apart.’
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 has changed them forever.
A brand new version of this classic text is translated by Daniel Raggett and staged at the Gate Theatre 34 years since it was first produced there.
