Matthew Freeman has taken “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and reimagined it in a way that feels dangerously current and unsettling. His ministers of the press, the state, the treasury, and public safety, all bear the burden of enacting policy once spoken.

Outstanding commentary on the startling power of suggestion over the plebes, and even those who attempt to sway them. ”
