After eight, sold-out years in Rob Becker’s hit comedy "Defending the Caveman," Tim Plewman has ceremoniously handed over his spear, loin cloth and leopard skin to Alan Committie, who braves the chilly waters of disparity between the sexes to continue bringing you the phenomenon that is "Defending the Caveman!" But Tim is still lurking at the back of the cave as he, like Rex Garner before him, directs Alan in this wonderful “date comedy” that explains the reasons why okes refuse to ask for directions and why chicks need so much cupboard space!

There seems to be no end to the appeal of Tannie Evita's blonde sussie! Because of public demand for the Sunday shows at the Intimate Theatre, Bambi in Kabaret has been extended till mid-December. The Kabaret is about her extraordinary story of survival told in song, her background echoed in familiar tunes, her inspirations gently mocked through canny impersonation. With Pieter-Dirk Uys as Bambi and with music arranged and played by Godfrey Johnson, the cabaret is performed in three languages. Bambi's story is told in English, while the songs also include some in German and some in Afrikaans. This cabaret is not for the faint-hearted.
