The Emperor’s New Clothes

A Derby Theatre, Hiccup Theatre and Polka Theatre production

Family Friendly , Derby Theatre Productions

Friday 1 April 2022 – Saturday 16 April 2022

“Hiccup Theatre’s family shows always take you to unexpected places in such imaginative ways”

The Guardian

Now On Sale

A brand new adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen classic

Derby Theatre, Hiccup Theatre and Polka Theatre bring you the greatest fake news story ever told!   

The Emperor likes nothing more than a fashion parade and you are all invited to ohh and ahh at his talent and eye-popping outfit.

Meet the vain Emperor, the pandering advisors who offer uncritical support, and the crowd who fail to tell the truth, preferring lies to be told instead.

Hilarious and heart-warming, magical and musical, The Emperors New Clothes is a stylish theatrical treat for all ages.

The award-winning Hiccup Theatre spin music, puppetry, BSL and storytelling into a very special yarn.

The Emperor’s New Clothes follows the hugely successful productions of The Jungle Book and Treasure Island. All performances will have fully integrated British Sign Language and Captioning.
