Defending The Caveman, Broadway's History Making Comedy, Coming To Providence Image

This season, Rhode Island couples are sure to be roaring with laughter and sharing knowing glances while asking "Could comedy give couples therapy a run for its money?" With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart. Defending the Caveman makes us laugh at ourselves, about all the ways that men and woman fight, laugh and love.

Written by comedian Rob Becker over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology, Defending the Caveman played for two and a half years on Broadway, making it the longest running solo play in Broadway's history.

Caveman is now in its third year in Las Vegas and tours cities all over the United States and around the world. At last count, Caveman has been performed in 45 different countries and been translated into 30 different languages!

Defending the Caveman is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate. This prehistoric look at the battle of the sexes is full of wonderful scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women, making it a perfect entertainment option for couples, or girls' night out. The show has also been seen and recommended by thousands of marriage and family therapists and counselors, for its humorous look at the inherent differences between the sexes.
