LITTLE VOICE

JANE HORROCKS is Little Voice, the nearly mute waif who can magically transform herself into legendary stars in the privacy of her attic room. Horrocks reprises the role that brought her acclaim on the London stage and a 1993 Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress after being written specifically for her talents by playwright Jim Cartwright.

She will next be seen in Martin Clunes' "Hunt For Venus."

A popular star of British stage and screen, Horrocks recently starred in her own Channel 4 special "Never Mind the Horrocks." Other television work includes a "Tales From The Crypt" with Ewan McGregor and such BBC productions as "Henry IV," "Suffer The Little Children," "Bad Girl," "Roots," "Came Out It Was Rainy, Went Inside," "Alive and Kicking," "La Nonna," "Heartland" and "Road." On stage, her most recent work includes starring as Lady Macbeth in "Macbeth," "Cabaret," "Our Own Kind," "Debutante Ball," "Valued Friends," "A Colliers Friday Night," "Road" and "Ask For The Moon."
