Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord: The Suit

Arts

The acclaimed opera and theatre director, Peter Brook, brings to the stage a new adaptation of the novel, The Suit, by the South African writer, Can Themba, about a love triangle in an apartheid ghetto. A young worker returns home to find his wife in bed with her lover. The lover escapes, leaving behind his suit. The only revenge the husband takes is to instruct his wife to treat the suit as an honoured guest. But how long can the wife endure this harsh imposition?

The story, an evocative cocktail of irony, humour and cruelty is a brilliant musical theatre production in which the masterly text is accompanied by live music from guitar, piano and trumpet.
