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

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.

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.

We are Wildefolk, a London based visual art and theatre company creating work for young audiences across the capital. This Christmas we are taking over a space at Spitalfields Market to create a pop-up theatre venue. We will be running throughout December to present our latest show The Overcoat.
