In "The Cavemen", William Saroyan re-problematizes the existence of values, the condition of the actor and the theater man, his fate and place in society. For Saroyan, theater is another version of the world, a new dimension of human reality. The main characters are the King and the Queen, the Duke - a former boxer, a girl and a family consisting of her two husbands, a newborn and a bear, who are forced to beg to survive and spend their days in an abandoned theater subject to demolition. Today's beggar, a former clown, was once Lear, and the poor, sick, aging Queen was once an actress, one of the many forgotten queens of the theater. A moving performance, whose essential revelation is that the secret of theater lies in love.
