Defending the Caveman

Synopsis

Why do men and women misunderstand each other? The truth of course, can be traced back to the caveman and the fundamental difference between the hunter and the gatherer. This hilariously funny but horribly truthful show could be the saviour of your relationship as our basic differences are brought brilliantly up to date. Winner of 2000 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment.
