Les Petits

Bringing the story to life for the little ones

Looking for theatre your kids will love but you wouldn’t mind sitting through too?

At Les Petits, we take children’s favourite stories and lift them off the page with interactivity, music, puppetry and playfulness. Born from the minds behind Les Enfants Terribles (for grown-ups!) we’re here to open up the possibilities of theatre to children through the tales they know and love.

From astronaut hippos to pirate dinosaurs, no world is too fantastical! We’ve worked with a variety of authors including David Walliams and Giles Andreae to bring their stories to life and share them with families across the UK and beyond!

Where it all started

Les Petits was established in 2013 as the children's arm of Les Enfants Terribles. After having children himself, James wanted to create theatre that they could enjoy but that wasn't patronising.

So, he and Oliver (founders of Les Enfants Terribles) decided to use their vast theatrical backgrounds to create high-end productions for kids, to help inspire the next generation of theatre-goers and makers.
