    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The title of the production derives from the Latin word "caveat," a subjunctive form meaning "let one beware," best known in English through the legal phrase "caveat emptor," meaning "let the buyer beware," with both the Latin root and the legal phrase reflecting the protagonist's situation of accepting a dangerous assignment without full knowledge of the circumstances.
    • Goofs
      The leather harness worn by Isaac visibly features two large buckles positioned behind the shoulders, but rather than attempting to undo the buckles and remove the harness, the character instead focuses his efforts on trying to break the chain.
    • Quotes
      • Moe Barrett: I don't see what the problem is. This is a job. Every job has a uniform.
      • Isaac: That's not a uniform. It's a leash, and I'm not putting it on.
