Big Sister Little Brother is a slapstick comedy for children about sibling rivalry interwoven with the classic tale of The Emperor's New Clothes. Big Sister Little Brother invites the audience into a world of trickery and vanity where they meet bossy big sister, Rita and naïve little brother, Archie on the run from their past.

Through physical story-telling we meet a big-headed Emperor, a foolish chief-minister and an exquisite Empress in a vast palace full of clothes. When everything goes wrong, whose fault is it? The dynamics of their sibling relationship is played out to hilarious and heart warming aplomb in this highly successful comedy for children.
