CAVEMAN

CAVEMAN by Rob Becker

Men are hunters and women are gatherers. A fact that human evolution has still not been able to change. The cult comedy has delighted audiences and critics around the globe. A MUST for anyone who is in, has been in or wants to be in a relationship!

CAVEMAN takes a unique look at the relationship between man and woman. In the "magic underwear circle", Tom, the likeable hero in the thicket of relationships, meets his ancestor from the Stone Age, who shares his millennia-old wisdom with him: Men are hunters and women are gatherers. A fact that human evolution has still not been able to change. What the average man has always suspected, Tom now knows first-hand and asks himself: "Why don't we simply regard women and men as completely different cultures? With different languages, different behaviors and different origins?" Inspired by this insight, Tom analyzes the strange universe of female collectors: This mysterious world of best friends, shopping and sex. With an immense need to communicate and a dry sense of humor and irony, Tom also observes the hunter's way of life. He reveals what fulfillment "sitting around without talking" can mean, why men have to zap through the TV program and that a conversation among hunters begins and ends at the same time with the words "Let's go to the cellar, drill things".

With CAVEMAN, the American Rob Becker wrote the most successful solo play in Broadway history. After CAVEMAN was acclaimed by an audience of millions in the United States, the modern cave man celebrated worldwide success. The play was first performed in Germany in 2000, directed by Esther Schweins and translated by Kristian Bader.
