This intensely alluring play, set in apartheid South Africa, tells the story of adultery and the pain that accompanies forgiveness, or the lack thereof. When a woman is caught cheating, her husband tells her to carry around her lover’s suit as punishment. With the performance’s unique integration of African music and Schubert lieder, the audience is easily pulled into this emotional tale.
Additionally, if you are a student, you can buy an Arts and Eats ticket and discuss the play at Espresso Royale on State St after the performance!
