Watch the trotters in the trough get a serious slapping! The Overcoat is a fast, furious and deeply acerbic satire where banks and bankers are in for a kicking. This is Gogol for today in a dazzling new comedy that has taken Scandinavia by storm. Catherine Grosvenor's brilliant Scottish adaptation brings it right here onto Edinburgh's own doorstep. Forty characters rampage around hapless and long-suffering bank clerk Akaky as he negotiates treacherous boom and bust waters of the modern global economy. Ignorance, incompetence, corruption and the oppression of the weak... but then if you couldn't laugh, you'd cry.
