About Les Enfants Terribles
Working with students, schools and young people across the UK & abroad, Les Enfants Terribles provide dynamic, educational opportunities to inspire creativity.
Their workshops and free teaching resources provide a deep dive into their style and techniques. Created and led by professional educators and practitioners, they build skills, knowledge and confidence to inspire the next generation of theatre-makers.
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.
