First Group Theatre, Madinat


We have been to the moon, solved the theory of relativity, but one problem remains – why are men and women so different? That’s what Mark Little sets out to answer in the Olivier Award-winning production Defending the Caveman. Translated into 30 languages and seen in over 45 countries, Defending the Caveman has toured the world successfully since 1991 and is making its next stop in Dubai.

This Norwell Lapley Production is sponsored by Land Rover and Time Out Dubai.

Mark Little is returning to his critically acclaimed role in the ‘Best Entertainment’ Olivier Award winning production ‘Defending the Caveman’. Directed by Cathy Farr, last year’s London run at the Leicester Square Theatre immediately sold out and an extended run was shortly announced. Now ‘Defending the Caveman’ takes centre stage at The First Group Theatre at Souk Madinat Jumeirah.

Created and performed by Rob Becker in San Francisco in 1991, the show, which was awarded the prestigious honour when Mark took on the role at the Apollo Theatre in 2000, is the longest running solo play in Broadway history. Having been translated into 16 different languages, ‘Caveman’ has become a worldwide hit, performing to over 5 million people globally in Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, France, Russia, Australia and South Africa to name but a few!


With hysterical observations into contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zones, ‘Defending the Caveman’ has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition as they identify themselves in the tales being told. In short, it mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart.
