Defending The Caveman 10/06/2007
Scherr Forum, Thousand Oaks, Ca. Seat: Floor, Row B, Seat 12, 13

Hysterically funny! As someone who has covered the theater off and on for a couple of decades, I'm as jaded as the next journalist, but I have to say that Becker made me laugh until tears rolled down my cheeks. People were holding their sides. The woman sitting next to me laughed until she choked.

For ninety minutes, Becker proceeds, with compassion as well as humor, to outline the idea that there are real reasons for our differences, possibly even genetic reasons whose origins are buried in the millennia of human evolution; and instead of judging the opposite sex according to one's own gender based standards, it is possible to recognize the differences and accept them without hostile judgment.

Becker sends you out of the theater with a smile on your face. You feel less alone. Couples who were arguing before the performance stroll out into the night afterward holding hands. You know there's going to be some serious snuggling going on when they get home. Seems to me that's well worth the price of admission
