The Emperor’s New Clothes is a fun filled children’s production done by the Drama-and Theatre Art Department of the University of the Free State. The directing is being done by Karabelo Lekalake, and Daniel Wolmarans as assistant director.

The play is loosely based on the original story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. The Emperor is in need of an outfit for the wedding of Prince George and the mysterious tailor and his wife come to sew him the “Pride of Life” suit. Great confusion occurs when Tailor Sligh states that the suit will only be visible to the truly wise. A big variety of funny characters - like Tardy, Logofile, Bard of Bungle, Lady Vogue and Page - accompany the play.

The production is in the Scaena Rehearsal Room from 13 – 18 May 2010 at 11h00. Tickets are available at Computicket as well as at the doors.
Be sure to come and enjoy the Emperor’s antics and the other character’s mischievous tricks!
