The play consists of three monologues spoken by Eric. In the monologues, Eric is able to convey his personal opinions of situations. The fact that Eric is the only character who has monologues shows his authority in comparison to the others.
Godber continuously switches scenes in-order for us to not loose interest in the action and it also creates suspense as we are left with a cliffhanger continuously. After a scene, we are instantly taken into a more dramatic scene etc. This makes us wonder what will happen in the previous scene, each scene is linked, and therefore allows us to see what is happening for example in both the women’s and men’s dressing rooms!
This way we are kept interested as we don’t have to be focused on one subject matter continuously, it also adds humour at the fact that when they change scene they seem to change character and gender.
A rap is used in the beginning of the play, which changes the usual rhythm to a play, (it a contrast to a play written by Shakespeare for example). The effect the rap has on us, is shock, we are surprised as of their appearance being bouncers that they would come out and sing.
The use of pausation causes suspense, which therefore keeps us interested.
The play itself cannot really be seen as naturalistic, although the language and dialogue used is definitely naturalistic. The structure reflects the complexity of the order of the play.
In-order for the audience to be fed with information, Godber uses dialogues through conversations between the characters within the play.
The characters represent both working and middle class, which makes it easier for the audience to relate to the issues, as they are made real, through the right bodies (meaning the bouncers are not using standard English, they are using the language a working class bouncer would use).
