''[[Another One’s Bread]]'' is a play by [[Mike van Graan]].

==Original text==

Commissioned by the Centre of Excellence in Food Security at the [[University of the Western Cape]], ''[[Another One’s Bread]]'' explores various themes related to hunger in the context of the relationships between four women – a retired teacher, a writer, an estate agent and an unemployed young woman. What keeps these disparate women from Khayelitsha together is their membership of THE SUBSTITUTES, a group of professional mourners, hired to provide mourning-related services at funerals. The play takes its title from the Afrikaans expression “een man se dood is ‘n ander man se brood” (one person’s death is another person’s bread”.
