The Emperor’s New Clothes

With inspiring puppeteering, object theatre and original live music, The Emperor's New Clothes is brought delightfully to life at Scottish Mask and Puppet Centre!

The Emperor’s New Clothes

About The Emperor’s New Clothes

A delightfully creative and story told puppet show, with accompanying live music and clever everyday object theatre to inspire the children's imagination and adults too. A very vain Emperor orders two swindlers to make him a set of clothes, the like of which has never ever been seen before… or since! Inspiring puppeteering, object theatre and original live music bring this tale delightfully to life; don’t miss it.

Also Craft Activity Colour-in and Cut-Out Puppets and Masks in our Cafe from 10am before and after the show. Lots of designs to choose from, mermaids, sharks, butterflies, dragons, rabbits....and the Emperor too. All colouring-in, scissors and hole punches provided (£2.50/2.00).
