Who We Are
Language Fiesta was formed in 2025 by Tom Brain. Tom is a Theatre Director and Facilitator based in London who particularly loves making theatre as inclusive and accessible as possible! He also studied French and Spanish in his undergraduate degree, and therefore bringing theatre and languages together is his ideal job!
Our show Voulez-Vous was first created by Big Wheel Theatre. Tom started working for Big Wheel in 2022, then when founders Roland Allen and Jeni Williams retired in 2025, Tom formed Language Fiesta so that Voulez-Vous could carry on. We are incredibly grateful to Jeni and Roland for allowing us to carry on performing their work!
Voulez-Vous can be performed as an ASSEMBLY (for up to 300 pupils, lasting up to 30 minutes), or as a WORKSHOP (for up to 60 pupils, lasting up to 75 minutes)
Currently, we offer the French-language immersive show Voulez-Vous
​
This show is entirely interactive from the moment two French actors turn up at the school reception unable to speak anything but French.
​
The show is modelled on a TV holiday programme, including a hilarious game-show: a competition to win a family holiday. The show is interspersed with travel surveys, ad breaks, time checks, catchphrases, and a weather forecast.
​
Versions of Voulez-Vous have been frequently presented with great success for all key stages and for Special Needs schools:
For EYFS/KS1, the show is mainly a ‘geography lesson’, where parts of the audience become different regions of France.
For KS2 there’s also a quiz, and for KS3 and 4 the session becomes more of a culture show: café life, fashion, Paris monuments, and the French Revolution.
Levels of fluency within the same Key Stage vary hugely from school to school. The actors are brilliant at adapting to the level of each group, both encouraging and stretching language use. Teachers and pupils are often amazed at how every group manages to enjoy themselves entirely in French for more than an hour!
