Hiccup Theatre bring you the greatest fake news story ever told! A brand new adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen Classic.
It’s Dress up and Play Day! The Emperor likes nothing more than a fashion parade and you are all invited to Ooh and Ahh at his latest eye-popping outfit.
Meet the vain Emperor, the pandering advisors who offer uncritical support, and the crowd, who fail to recognize the truth, preferring lies to flourish.
Hilarious and heartwarming, magical and musical…it’s a stylish treat for all the family.
The award-winning Hiccup Theatre spin music, puppetry, BSL and storytelling into a very special yarn.
“Hiccup Theatre’s family shows always take you to unexpected places in such imaginative ways” -The Guardian
Supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Ian McKellen Producer Grant.
Performances: Thu 28 April – Sun 22 May
Ages 3-8
Approx. 55 mins in Polka’s Main Theatre.
