Jim Cartwright’s award-winning 1992 play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, which inspired the 1998 Miramax British musical film Little Voice, is being adapted for TV as part of Miramax’s strategy of mining the company’s IP library to create new international series. Cartwright will pen the TV adaptation telling "the story of shy, working-class LV, who has the extraordinary ability to mimic the great singing divas of the 20th Century," per Deadline. "When a small-time talent agent forces her into the spotlight, a battle between LV and her abusive, boozing mother erupts."
