+The play is based on the well-known short story by [[Can Themba]], published in ''The World of Can Themba'' ([[E.Patel]] (ed), [[Ravan Press]] 1986). Adapted for the stage by [[Mothobi Mutloatse]] (1952-) and [[Barney Simon]] (1932-1995), it was further workshopped with the cast of the first production (1994).
 The story is set in [[Sophiatown]], just west of Johannesburg. A doting, newly-married husband returns unexpectedly one morning to find another man in bed with his wife. The man leaps out of a window, but he leaves his suit behind. The husband punishes his wife by making her treat the suit as an honoured guest in their home and in public.
