DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is a one-man show that explores the differences between men and women and has become a worldwide phenomenon since its inception in 1991. The show was created by American comedian ROB BECKER, who drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of male-female relationships.

 

The show has been performed in over 45 countries and has been translated into more than 30 languages. It has been described as "hilarious and insightful" by critics and audiences alike, and has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Olivier Award in London.

In South Africa, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN has been staged by various theatre companies over the years and has always been a hit with audiences. The latest production, presented by Theater Mogul, stars CRAIG JACKSON and is directed by AURELIE STRATTON will run from the 19th - 9th of March at the ARTSCAPE.


In the midst of unprecedented global challenges such as Covid, the war in the Ukraine, the GNU loadshedding and Trump AGAIN!  one thing that remains constant: is the timeless humour and insight of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN. And with the arrival of a new caveman played by CRAIG JACKSON, audiences can expect fresh and updated challenges, new descriptive words, and plenty of highs and lows.
