  3. The Suit


When a husband catches his wife in the arms of her lover, the lover flees—but leaves his suit behind. As her penance, the husband makes his wife “treat the suit as an honored guest”; accompanying her wherever she goes, the suit becomes a whimsical yet cruel reminder of her infidelity. African melodies interweave with jazz standards to underscore this simple yet surprising tale, set in Apartheid-era Johannesburg, in a haunting production that integrates virtuosic musicians directly into the action.

Cast and Creative team for The Suit at American Conservatory Theater

Based on The Suit by Can Themba,
Mothobi Mutloatse, and Barney Simon
Direction, adaptation, and music by
Peter Brook, Marie-Hélène Estienne,
and Franck Krawczyk
