Issues
- The brothers had an awkward relationship: they don't talk to each other, and it seems like there is some unresolved conflict.
- The characters don't seem mentally sound, they go from contrast the contrast.
- The tramp is always asking for shoes. Could this be something to do with the war? Or just a wanting for nice things?
- The older brother told Davies about having ECT therapy, and how traumatic it was. He'd had a troubled childhood, and ever since the ECT he's been lost in his own little world, not able to talk to people.
- Loud background noise: drips and window shutting. This build tension, and frightens the audience.
- Extreme repetition (passing of the bags)
- They will suddenly scream, and cough loudly.
- Extreme invation of personal space.
- Characterisation: they go from nice to violent, from quiet to loud and excited.
- Awkward silences between the three for ages.
- They explain the obvious. "What do you do when the bucket is full?" "There's a leak in the ceiling."
- They all have issues.
- The dialogue drags, it takes ages for the characters to say what they mean.
- The younger brother scares Davies for no reason. Turning the light off and chasing Davies with the hoover, whislt Davies attempt to defend himself with a penknife.
