Win tickets to see iconic Defending the Caveman in Durban
Plewman's Defending the Caveman returns to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on the UKZN campus from 4 to 14 October.
SOUTHLANDS Sun has three pairs of tickets for keen theatre-goers to see veteran actor Tim Plewman once again don the Caveman’s skins and step onto stage to add to his record-breaking slew of sold out performances of the longest-running and most successful solo comedy in South African theatre history.
Plewman’s Defending the Caveman returns to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on the UKZN campus from 4 to 14 October.
The Broadway production still holds the record of the longest running non-musical solo comedy of all time. What more can be said about this wonderful show that so humorously exposes the hunter and gatherer in us all and has played to over a million people?
Penned by Rob Becker, Plewman adapted the script for Southern Africa and went on to win the Vita Award for Best Actor in a Comedy.
Updated, upgraded and totally uploadable to today’s world of tweets, selfies and six-million Facebook friends, this production is still a hilarious, affectionate and insightful comedy which explains why men and women see the world so differently, and will have you looking at your partner with new eyes. After years of hearing that all men are assholes, the Caveman once again stands up to be counted. And being a troglodyte, standing upright is not an easy thing to do.
Tim has become one of the most sought after actors in SA, equally at home in drama or comedy. He is an actor, dancer, writer, humourist, director and producer.

His book ‘Fitness For Old Farts’, rocketed to number 10 on the bestsellers list in SA, and he does motivational speaking countrywide inspiring over 50s to regain fitness, flexibility and fun.

Tim’s legendary show, Defending the Caveman, crossed the divides of race, gender, age, culture and religion to become a South African icon, the only show to become one of the things you have to see if visiting the country, along with the Big Five, Cape Town and a gold mine.
