About The House With Chicken Legs (Crescent Theatre)

Marinka dreams of a normal life, where she can stay somewhere long enough to make friends; but there’s one problem – her house has chicken legs and moves on without warning.

Based on Sophie Anderson’s much-loved novel, the story is brought to life with puppets, projection and live music in this co-production from critically acclaimed theatre company Les Enfants Terribles and HOME Theatre, Manchester.

Support your visit with an in-school educational workshop from Les Enfants Terribles’ expert facilitators. Suitable for KS2-5, these interactive sessions work hand-in-hand with classroom-ready resources that you can download for free here.

Enquire today to not miss out on the exclusive schools discount and give your students the opportunity to experience Sophie Anderson’s story live on stage.
