The Overcoat…

in which Akakii Akakievich finds that a new coat is far from immaterial.  

In a new piece of physical theatre based on Gogol’s famous comic-mystery, a copying clerk realises his threadbare overcoat is beyond repair; but in the freezing, fog-bound streets of St Petersburg, new clobber gets you noticed.  Social climbing, low down crooks and endless bureaucracy lead him astray, while fingers from beyond scrabble at his coat-tails.

With the fog so thick…how can you watch your back?
