Directed by Justin Juice Black and starring Jeremy Stockwell as “The Man”, David Lemberg as “The Thief” and Simone McIntyre as “The Manager”, The Overcoat is an adaptation of the classic 1842 story written by acclaimed Ukrainian author Nikolai Gogol.
A darkly humorous sketch of a world in which no good deed goes unpunished, The Overcoat is a sharply modern fable with universal appeal.
