The King of Nothing

MONSTRO Theatre’s latest show The King of Nothing (co-produced with Little Angel Theatre) is an anarchic piece of musical puppet theatre inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s classic The Emperor’s New Clothes. 

King Reginald is a ruler who likes to keep in style.  But the fashions change so fast, he’s afraid he can’t keep up…

Hearing of the King’s predicament, two fast-talking “Weavers” head to the palace with their brand new fabric: it’s “smart” and it’s “in” and it NEVER goes out of fashion.  Soon the Kingdom is alive with talk of the magical cloth and Reginald can’t wait to wear his “smart” new suit to the Big Parade.  But what are these “weavers” really spinning…?

Inspired by The Emperor’s New Clothes, this wild new Puppet Musical sets out to prove…You’ll Believe Anything!
