The Human Voice

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.

‘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.
