-‘Cage Me A Peacock’ was the first novel by South African author and screenwriter Noel Langley.
+Based on Langley's popular humorous novel of the same name (published by Arthur Barker in 1935), which Langley had adapted, first as a play and then as a musical, the musical is a parody of the legend of Lucretia, offering a risqué and amusing alternative account of the events leading up to the Roman Revolution of about 508 BC which expelled the last King of Rome, Tarquin the Proud, and established the Roman republic.[https://www.amazon.com/Cage-Me-Peacock-Noel-Langley/dp/B000TZ1TS8]
