South African theatre company Market Theatre Johannesburg will close a North England tour of The Suitcase in Liverpool from 4-7 October, with five shows at the Playhouse.

Set in 1950s South Africa, a young newly married couple leave their rural village and disapproving family for the city of Durban, with the goal of returning home rich and free. But alienated in the city, unemployed and poor, Timi starts to lose his moral compass. Desperate to provide for his pregnant wife, he steals a suitcase left on a bus not knowing what might be inside; an act which brings frightening consequences, dramatic twists and unexpected turns.
