Little Terror

An interactive and adventure-filled family opera!

It’s Alex’s birthday, but she does not want to go to her birthday party.

To get there she has to go through the front door, to the deep puddle at the end of the street, past the scary school gates and by the boring playground with the parents who never do anything fun. And she has to wear her dreaded pink dress, which is no good at all. Alex wants to be a knight, and knights don’t wear pink dresses…do they?

Little Terror is suitable for everyone but that there are sensory and interactive elements which make it particularly accessible for children with additional needs. Shows will be captioned. 

In performances of Little Terror, audiences are able to move, vocalise, tick, stim and react to the piece freely. If audience members need a break, they are welcome to leave the performance and come back at a later point. We ask that parents and carers take responsibility for the safety of those in their care.

Saturday 18th October

11am* & 1:30pm

*Neurodivergent Friendly Performance – everyone welcome (the show content isn’t any different to the 1.30pm show)

Written by Maisie Newman and the students at Phoenix School in Tower Hamlets, Little Terror is an imaginative, interactive and adventure-filled family opera all about finding inner strength and processing your emotions, made with and for Learning Disabled audiences.

This new opera for children and families is directed by Molly Harris Farley (Assistant Director of The Wellies and The Great Stink) and Noah Mosley (The Firebird, The Wish Gatherer, Shh We Have a Plan!) returns to compose.
