From comedy to contemplation: a lot on offer for Cape Town theatregoers
Cape Town theatregoers are in for a treat as Craig Jackson's 'Defending the Caveman' will be staged at the The Playhouse Theatre this weekend.
The production comes to the Mother City after a successful run at Johannesburg's Theatre on the Square in November.
This iconic one-man show, which taps into the differences between men and women, was created by American comedian Rob Becker. He used his life experience and his observations to add some flavour to the script for the popular play which has been entertaining theatregoers for over three decades.
To date, the Broadway hit has been performed in over 45 countries and has been translated into more than 30 languages. It has also received several awards over the years, including the prestigious Olivier Award in London.
Over the decades, the script has also evolved to incorporate significant social and global events, leading to its South African show featuring comical and insightful perspectives of issues such as load shedding and other local anecdotes.
Where: The Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West.
When: Friday, April 4, and Saturday, April 5. Both shows start at 7.30pm.
