Performed by Credo Theatre (in English)
Dostoevsky said that all Russian literature comes out of Gogol's Overcoat. So it is fitting that Petersburg Tales opens with the Bulgarian Credo Theatre's two-person clown show of Gogol's tale of Akakey Akakievich, the poor St. Petersburg clerk whose soul is smothered by a long-dreamed-of overcoat. Credo has played this production in eight languages around the world, winning many awards.
