Snowman's Land - Edinburgh Festival Guide

If you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise... What do you get when you cross a hapless assassin who has trouble shooting the right person, another hitman with a metal plate in his head (an automatic bulletproof vest for the brain) and a paranoid mafioso-style boss in deep seclusion in the snowbound Carpathian mountains? The answer is Snowman's Land: an astute, aesthetically pleasing and Fargo-esque black comedy of errors; it isn't just the Coen brothers who can have fun with the farcical fallout of professional killers who are not quite at the top of their game.
