-A workshopped "acting exercise" about a prisoner and his coat, based on a real incident during the trial of members of the company in 1966, when Fugard was approached by a man who had been sentenced to ten years hard labour, requesting him to take his coat back to his wife as a memento. In the play the family debate the future of the coat, eventually deciding to place it on a hanger and keep it until the old man returns home.
