    This is a hoot! Talk about detail-- this play has plenty and that's what makes it so good. Once you hear a 90-year-old dad say to his daughter "Looking at it gives me a warm feeling... in my pants", you're on alert and ready to find out where it goes from there. The Caddie is edgy and written for adult audiences, but it's grounded in fully-realized characters and there's not a one-liner to be found. Theatres with senior actors on tap should take advantage of all The Caddie offers.
