The Emperor’s New Clothes” will be performed by Illyria who originally performed this timeless Hans Christian Andersen story in 2000, when it was the Critic’s choice at the Edinburgh Fringe festival and attracted multiple 5-star reviews on a sell-out UK tour.

Beneath the fancy clothes of the tale lies something more meaningful; human weaknesses are satirised mercilessly; and a capacity for loving is the highest value.

There are larger-than-life characters, lots and lots to join in with – and an ending that will leave you helpless with laughter!

The event will take place outside at Nethercott House, near Okehampton, EX19 8SN. Tickets are £16 for adults and £12 for children under 12.

Gates open at 5pm. A hog roast and drinks will be available from 5.30pm. The performance will begin promptly at 7pm and lasts 1 hour 40 minutes including a 20 minute interval.
