Defending The Caveman, a hysterically funny look at men, women and why the battle of the sexes is still going strong, comes to Hall for Cornwall for three nights in March.

The show opened on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre on March 1, 1995 and ran until June 1997 - making it the longest running solo play in Broadway history.

Now Neighbours star Mark Little returns to the role that won him critical and public acclaim when he Defended the Caveman at London's Apollo Theatre, before several sell-out tours in England. The show won the 2000 Society of London Theatre Olivier Award for Best Entertainment with Mark as the star.

Defending the Caveman was created and performed by Rob Becker in San Francisco in 1991 and since then it has been seen by five million people across the world.

There have been Caveman productions in Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, France, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Croatia, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Australia, South Africa and on and on and on.

Mark Little is best known for his portrayal of Joe Mangel in the soap phenomenon Neighbours where he created one of Ramsay Street's most legendary characters. He received an Australian Television Society Best Actor nomination for his role as Joe. In 1985 Mark was presented with the same award for his portrayal of Ron Miller in The Flying Doctors.

Mark has appeared in 15 feature films including An Indecent Obsession and Short Changed. He played Constable Morris in A Cry in the Dark and the lead role of Boady in the highly acclaimed Nirvana Street Murder. More recently he appeared as an Aussie lawn bowls champion in Blackball.

Settling in Britain in 1992, Mark hosted Channel 4's The Big Breakfast. He has presented numerous programmes on British television including his own strand on ITV's Wish You Were Here. He won the Theatre Land edition of The Weakest Link and narrated Sky 1's The Villa.

He played the lead role in Serial Killers for Derby Playhouse. Mark has also celebrated the Australian performance artist, Leigh Bowery, playing him in Taboo in London's West End and again on tour.

In March 2005, Mark returned to Australia where he reprised the character of Joe Mangel. He has recently presented and scripted The Mozambique Poo Tour, a film dealing with sanitation problems and solutions in the developing world. In the autumn of 2006 Mark toured the UK with the comedy The Safari Party.
