STUFF and Nonsense Theatre Company return to Nuffield Theatre for Autumn Half Term (28-29 October) with The Emperor’s New Clothes.

It follows their sell-out performances of Goldilocks and The Three Bears and The Elves and The Shoemaker.

This retelling of a classic Hans Christian Andersen tale, directed by Niki McCretton, is an exciting new version inspired by the Muppets, Danny Kaye and good old family movies.

Get ready to meet an eccentric Emperor who loves clothes more than anything! But despite a wardrobe the size of Paris, he hasn’t got a stitch to wear for his birthday! A new outfit must be found! When two ‘designers’ come to town with a promise to create him an outfit that's "never been seen before", our eccentric Emperor doesn't quite realise the spectacle he is about to make.

Populated with puppets, music and song, this inventive and energetic production is told in true Stuff and Nonsense style; with unending energy, great storytelling and, as always, a show for all the family.

Annie Reilly, Producer at Nuffield said, “Stuff and Nonsense are an incredible company. They have wonderful puppets and a great sense of what makes children tick. They’ve taken a classic fairy-tale and transformed it into a hugely entertaining, and surprisingly witty, theatrical treat”

The Emperor’s New Clothes is part of the Nuffield Children’s Theatre Autumn/Winter season which features; Dinosaur Detectives, Flights of Fancy, Burglar Bill and Room on the Broom.

Tickets are available from the Box Office 023 8067 1771 or online at nuffieldtheatre.co.uk.
