The Overcoat

Produced by: CanStage, Glynis Henderson Productions and The Bushnell Centre

Beautifully tailored, luxuriantly lined in the music of Dmitri Shostakovich; The Overcoat is a delightfully lyrical, passionate, funny, wistful and engrossing treat. It's a show you can't take your eyes off. What turns inspiration into genius, is the combination of inventive direction and design and the masterful performances.
San Francisco Chronicle

Sumptuous... Played to a seamlessly edited score by Shostakovich, the production unravels the story as a sepia-toned silent movie played out by a cast who create a world teetering on the bring of delirious madness.
The Guardian

The Overcoat hitches the acting techniques of the silent screen to stylised movement and the dynamising force of Shostakovichs's music... with lashings of vigour and the big-hearted clout of music.
The Independant on Sunday

This unique piece is part dance, part theatre and all brilliant and something truly special. A creation that combines laughter with pathos and exhilaration with despair.
The Toronto Star

Dazzling, hilarious, enchanting, beautiful and haunting.
The Globe and Mail

A simple moral fable told in truly remarkable fashion. A seamless piece of dance theatre that operates on the grand scale.
