Time to show your inner caveman
HE DONS the skins and steps out on stage to continue Defending the Caveman. Tim Plewman is back with the longest-running and most successful solo comedy in South African theatre history.
The one-man show returns to Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon theatre from September 7 to 17.
The Broadway production still holds the record for the longest running non-musical solo comedy, which exposes the hunter-gatherer in us all and has played to over 1 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 up-loadable to today’s world of tweets, selfies and 6 million Facebook friends, this is a hilarious, affectionate and insightful comedy that explains why men and women see the world so differently.
Plewman has become one of the most sought after actors in South Africa, equally at home in drama or comedy. He is also a dancer, writer, humourist, director and producer.
Since his first lead role in 1978, he has remained at the top of the acting world. He has won five best actor/best director awards, has written two books and half a dozen plays and TV specials.
His book, Fitness For Old Farts, reached number 10 on the best-sellers list in South Africa, and he does motivational speaking countrywide inspiring the over fifties to regain fitness, flexibility and fun.
Defending the Caveman crossed the divides of race, gender, age and culture to become a South African icon.
