The longest-running solo play in Broadway history, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN, will be staged in India for the first time, with a premiere on November 2024 at the Veda Kunba Theatre.

The Theatre Mogul team decided on Mumbai was their next stop, and picked Vishesh Arora after several actors auditioned. According to a press note, Oskar Eiriksson, CEO & Executive producer for Theater Mogu said, "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!"

"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.

Performances scheduled across multiple weekends will allow audiences in Mumbai to enjoy the show that has already captivated audiences in over 45 countries and 30 languages. Created by Rob Becker, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN takes a light-hearted look at the age-old "battle of the sexes" through the eyes of a modern caveman who hilariously dissects the misunderstandings and connections between men and women.
