The Emperor's New Clothes
Tuesday 2 December 2008 to Saturday 17 January 2009
The Emperor's New Clothes, continues unity’s 21 year passion for traditional stories told in an untraditional way and follows the success of Pinocchio and The Tinder Box.

Emperor Bling is a proud and wealthy man but he hasn't got a thing to wear! In his huge palace he has a huge walk in wardrobe full of the finest clothes, he has new clothes every day, in fact he cares more for his clothes than he does his citizens.

His fashion fixation has created a wool shortage so he's raised the sheep shearing tax. The townsfolk are up in arms and he's beginning to get the feeling they don't like him. Even his sweetheart is tiring of his vanity.

In a bid to win them all round he hires two dodgy taylors, Wicked and Wicked, who promise him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth.

Will his new threads be bling enough to dazzle them?
Will Wicked and Wicked prove to be a pair of conmen?
Will the audience see right through Emperor Bling's Charms?

Liverpool’s Patrick Dineen, who composed and arranged the score for Liverpool's 2008 Capital of Culture launch on St George's plateau directs and provides the music for this sure fire Christmas treat. The Cast Includes Aiden Lee Brooks and Graham Geoffrey from Random Acts of Wildness who have both appeared in previous unity Christmas shows.
