A humorous and moving response to the elders who leave the next generation uncertain of what is expected of them, Yomi Sode's hit show COAT tackles immigration, identity and displacement.
"Belongs to a growing body of work that is creeping up on the theatrical establishment, reasserting the dramatic power of the written word at a time when director’s theatre sometimes seems all-powerful... the secret ingredient remains a mystery – but it is undoubtedly there, and is what makes this show so special." The Guardian "A charming peek into a life where, ultimately, food and love are overflowing." BroadwayWorldUK ★★★★
