About The Human Voice

What is The Human Voice about?

Today's generation is often glued to their phones. But phones aren't just devices to call, text, or even play games anymore. They are our life. The Human Voice explores this and looks at how human connections can change in an instant.

Right at the start of the play, viewers are met with the presence of a young woman. The woman is seen speaking to her lover over the phone.

The man and the woman have been together for five years now, and she is naturally expecting him to propose and want a family.

However, the man says he wants to marry someone else, and that leaves the woman on the call helpless, shocked, and broken. They stay on the phone call for almost 60 minutes, where she talks, shouts, and cries, marking a final goodbye to the departing lover.

The writer, Jean Cocteau, explores this plot well. He used the telephone as a medium to explore human needs.

You will never see the man behind the other side of the call, and you can form your own perspective on the departing lover. Jean Cocteau delivers an excellent monologue and portrays the timeless essence of love and loneliness. It is not based on a true story.

Ruth Wilson, who plays the lead in the show at the West End, is back after a hiatus. Ruth Wilson last worked with the director Ivo van Hove on the play 'Hedda Gabler', which was critically acclaimed.

Hedda Gabler ran at the National Theatre in 2016. Ivo van Hove directs this production and is ready to woo everyone. The show was designed by Jan Versweyveld.

Watch the woman make her final phone call to her former lover. The play is only back at the West End for a couple of weeks. Book your The Human Voice tickets now.
