Form and structure
The play opens with a monologue by Eric, the main character. It is one of the few monologues in the play. He sets the scene within the brief description of the nightlife he tells of. One of the first uses of language structure used by Gober is the Bouncers rap. By using a narrative as well as a song he has captured the audience’s initial attention. It is an interesting change from the first monologue which some in the audience may find boring
Flash backs are used constantly through the play. They give a further insight into the bouncer’s everyday lives and give rise to many pivotal moments. Godber uses flashbacks continuously through out the play. One of the first examples of this is when the bouncers start discussing the event of when the collage boys came to the club. Godber manages to show us two scene’s at once by placing a scene within a scene. He tells the story of the collage boys and shows certain scenes from the story. He however does this through narration from the bouncers. By doing this the flow and tempo are unaffected in this vital part of the play.
