The play was inspired by and based on Aucamp's ideas as developed for the introduction to Sewe Sondes, Nee Meer: Verhale en Essays oor Dood- en Ander Stories ("Seven sins, no more: Stories and essays on death and other stories"), compiled by Hennie Aucamp and published by Human and Rousseau in 1995. The book contains sixteen stories and essays by well-known well-known writers, mainly on death and the concept of sin.

Hennie Aucamp's original hand written manuscript of the play (accessible on the University of Stellenbosch's SUNDigital Collections website[1]) has the title as "Die Sewe Doodsondes: 'n Moraliteit" ("The Seven Deadly Sins: a Morality"). It was performed as a cabaret by the University of Stellenbosch drama department in 1995 and then published as Van Hoogmoed tot Traagheid of Die Sewe Doodsondes ("From Pride to Sloth, or The Seven Deadly Sins") by Human & Rousseau in 1996, with illustrations by Conrad Botes.
