The chair cushion saying “CHAIR ASS” was used in the 2019 production of the play The Unnatural and Accidental Women written by Marie Clements in 1997. The cushion was used as a prop in the scenes with the character Mavis who was overwhelmed by a heavy feeling: “I’m so scared I can’t move” (Clements, 2007, p. 29).
