The Emperor’s New Clothes

Our story follows Magus Scarper and Broderick Chase. Friends. Colleague-pals. Comrades. Or, as they are more commonly known, Chancers. It was chance that brought them together, and it’s opportunity that keeps them on their toes. And when they accidentally stumble into King Shirley 12th‘s palace their latest opportunity unfolds. Fooling the King into believing they are two of the most imaginative and skilled costumers in the land, they are tasked with creating the most divine garment ever made for the King to sashay his way through the town’s Christmas parade. Can these two cheeky chancers pull off the greatest con of all time? Book your tickets now for Northern Stage’s first-ever virtual Christmas show to find out. Devised by Mark Calvert, Hannah Goudie-Hunter, Bob Nicholson, and Laura Lindow
