New Panto! New Songs! New Nudes!
Welcome to France, 1789. The smell of revolution is in the air! As is an awful lot of hairspray, fake tan and whisperings that the Emperor might, just might, have some rather revealing new clothes….
From the creative team that brought you The Pied Piper, comes the third annual Shipwright Pantomime: The Emperor’s New Clothes. Expect plot twists, high notes and an ensuing court case for indecent exposure.
Let them eat cake? Well seeing as it’s Christmas, maybe a few mince pies.
What is Pay What You Can?
The Saver, Standard and Supporter tickets all get the same experience, but we let you choose which one’s right for you. We suggest you get a Standard ticket, but if times are tough, the Saver ticket is just as good! If you can spare a few more quid, then buying a Supporter ticket helps us keep making great shows at the Shipwright and helps to pay-it-forward for those buying a Saver ticket.
We believe passionately in the accessibility of art (err, pantomime) for everyone, and that no-one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. If the Saver ticket is still too much, and you’d love to see the show, get in touch with general@theshipwright.co.uk and we’ll see what we can do.
Other Ways To Save
If you live on Watergate Street or are a member of one of our partner engagement groups then you can come to any event for free. We can offer two tickets per show on the day so long as the show isn’t already sold out - find out more here.
