Lebo M and Pretty Samuels-Morake’s divorce battle seems to be getting messier and messier.

The show is adapted from a short story by highly respected South Africa scribe Can Temba. Unlike the original The Suit, this reimagined feminist version comes with beautiful music played by an orchestra, and digital technology to transport the audience back to the old days through photographs and images.

The Suit Concer-tized is a painful love story of a young couple in Sophiatown whose marriage is rocked by infidelity. The wife, Matilda, a violinist, composer and leader of an orchestra, abandons her first love, music, to marry Philemon. At the time of quitting music, Matilda had been seeing someone in her band but it was not a serious relationship.
The long and short of it is that Matilda reconnects with her old flame, choir member Thozamile (played by Brian Temba).
Philemon then catches Matilda and Thozamile in bed and as Thozamile runs away, he leaves behind his suit – hence the name of the production.
For her sins, Matilda is subjected to painful punishment by her husband. Philemon forces her to treat the suit left behind as a human being – calling it a “fellow”. As they walk around the streets of Sophiatown, people see Matilda carrying the suit.
Apart from being the story of a troubled young couple, the show revisits a painful Apartheid period when people were forcefully removed from Sophiatown and moved to Meadowlands in November 1959. Sophiatown, the home of many great writers and jazz musicians, is portrayed in the story as a lively place where good and bad alike happen. Unlike the original production of The Suit, Mothobi Motloatsi’s fantasy version starts with the white wedding of Matilda and Philemon.
