Once upon a time, there lived a Suzerain, the most royal, unique, extravagant and above all vain Suzerain whose only worry in life was to dress in elegant clothes. This Suzerain was so busy mismatching her wardrobe that the rest of the kingdom was in shambles! Enter the gypsies who, to teach the Suzerain a lesson, devise an ingenious plan convincing the Suzerain that clothes made of their "magic thread" is just what is needed to really distinguish the townsfolk, for only those worthy can see it. Naturally, everyone chooses to praise the invisible work of these gypsies in order not to be looked on as fools. While parading through town in her royal undergarments and invisible suit, the facade collapses. The young apprentices can't take it anymore and stop pretending to see something that is not there. Just because everyone else is saying something is true, doesn't mean it is! In the end, the Suzerain realizes the error of her ways and is able to laugh at herself and start fresh with the townsfolk.Come join this highly entertaining, clever retelling of the popular Hans Christian Anderson fable about the pitfalls of vanity and greed and the outstanding truth of the statement, "there are no stupid questions" such as "WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?" Show length: approximately 40 minutes
