Rehearsal pics: Cast of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice prepare at Birmingham Rep

Images have been released showing the cast of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice in rehearsals ahead of opening at the Birmingham Rep on 15 May.

A co-production between West Yorkshire Playhouse and Birmingham Repertory Theatre, it opens in Birmingham on 15 May before transferring to the Playhouse on 5 June.

Nancy Sullivan stars as LV, a painfully shy girl with a bold and beautiful voice, whose blowsy mother Mari (Vicky Entwistle), shrieks and shouts her way around the house, all-the-while Chris Gascoyne's Ray Say engineers his escape from small town showbiz to the bright lights of the big-time.

The cast also features Joanna Brookes, Brendan Charleson and Tendayi Jembere.
