The Overcoat

A magical theatre experience for all the family, ages 4 and up. 

The Overcoat is Nikolai Gogol’s classic winter tale that follows a clerk Akaki Akakievich and his journey of saving money for a new coat that later gets stolen. Wildefolk Theatre’s thrilling adaptation (written by Aysil Aksehirli) introduces a comical investigator duo, Sam and Ted, who are hot on the trail of a mysterious thief who is wreaking havoc by stealing overcoats across town.

Audiences can expect buckets of silliness and unstoppable energy, as Sam and Ted dive headfirst into a case that quickly spirals into a heart-pounding journey through the snowy streets of the bustling city. Armed with their trusty magnifying glasses and quick thinking, they’ll need all their wit to solve the case before it's too late. This visually stunning production will keep audiences on the edge of their seats, while delivering a powerful message about friendship, generosity, and the magic that lies in everyday acts of kindness.
