Following successes in their home cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, six of Australias leading young playwrights have come together to create THE HUMAN VOICE for Meat Market Stables. These exciting young playwrights have collaborated on a sextuple bill (six short plays) all of which take place over the phone, exploring the ways this now ubiquitous technology influences our ability to communicate, converse and connect. THE HUMAN VOICE showcases humanitys strangest phone-based quirks: connection to strangers when a wrong number is dialed, the awkwardness of phone-sex, and the imperfect possibilities of true connection via the phone. From the ritual of the family phone call to the uncertain menace of surveillance and privacy, THE HUMAN VOICE is a unique theatrical collaboration that will change the way you think about your phone. Directed by Benjamin Sheen and presented by Periscope Productions, THE HUMAN VOICE also features the experimental choir Choral Edge, who will perform original music composed. The idea for the show came from Sheens fascination with a 1930 play by Jacques Cocteau, also called The Human Voice: The original was such a simple concept: one woman speaking on the phone. But the real drama for me was how it revealed a new sort of language. We connect with people differently on the phone and its such an intimate space.
