Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 10: Mumbai has experienced and is applauding the laugh-out-loud humour of “Defending the Caveman,” the longest-running solo play in Broadway history, as it arrived in India for the first time! A comedic exploration of relationships, differences between men and women, and modern-day misunderstandings, this international sensation promises to leave audiences in splits with its unique blend of humour, insight, and heart. The show premiered on the 24th of November 2024 at the Veda Kunba Theatre and has more shows on the 15th and 28th of December at the same venue.
Once the Theater Mogul team decided that Mumbai was their next stop, the hunt for the caveman began. After multiple auditions, Vishesh Arora made the final cut. “We have long envisioned bringing this production to the Indian market, and after years of staging Defending The Caveman around the world, we are thrilled to finally present this show in India for the very first time!” says, Oskar Eiriksson, CEO & Executive producer for Theater Mogul.
“We have adapted the play to suit the Indian sensibilities, that’s why we were very clear that we will have an Indian Director and an Indian actor,” said Jiten Bhagat, the show’s Associate Producer in India. “This play resonates with audiences because it’s rooted in universal experiences. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, you’ll find yourself laughing and nodding along.” Heeba Shah who is not new to monologues was roped in to direct the performance.
Bhawana Somaaya, a renowned theatre and film critic shared, “It is about the battle of sexes. Deep, meaningful, sensitive, funny. Directed by the talented Heeba Shah and brilliantly performed by Vishesh Arora. Watch it with your better half, it is the best gift you can give him/ her.”

Synopsis – Defending the Caveman is a hilariously insightful one-man comedy play centred around the ways men and women relate. After a swift exit from a house party, our actor sees a vision and gets visited by a Caveman. He tells us stories about his own marriage and compares the ways we interact with our significant other with the way things used to be back in prehistoric times when men and women were hunters and gatherers. The show is a laugh-a-minute comedy but also an honest depiction of love and living with a partner. Couples are commonly seen strolling out into the night holding hands and a lot of affectionate nudging occurs during the show when couples recognize themselves in the stories told by the Caveman.
