Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Emperor's New Clothes
09 Lives present the Emperor's New Clothes as a modern take on an old morality tale. This show is for all the family and tells the story of how a powerful leader was convinced he was wearing the very, very best. And that he was the very, very best. Only to be told the truth by a child who could not see anything to admire.
This fun production will be staged in the open air, with the audience following the action through Abney Park. The show will have music, interaction with the audience and puppets, creating a world where we can explore how important it is to question and challenge perceived norms.
