The Emperor's New Clothes
by Judith Baker Kase

A play in two acts for young people of all ages, based on the tale by Hans Christian Andersen as retold in Japan, most delightfully and faithfully.

Setting: A platform stage requiring the fashion of the Kabuki or Noh drama.

Cast of 6 men, 6 women.

Approx.

run time: 50-55 min.

A superb adaptation of Andersen's THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES adapted by Judith Baker Kase.

Made thoroughly and appropriately Japanese, the beloved tale is spiritedly brought to life and given further perspective in the Island Empire of Japan.

Cynical courtiers and idealistic rogues act out their destiny to everyone's recognition and laughter.

The result is an oriental tapestry of theatrical pleasure.
