Into his derelict household shrine Aston brings Davies, a tramp - but a tramp with pretensions, even if to the world he may be a pathetic old creature. All that is left of his past now is the existence in Sidcup of some papers, papers that will prove exactly who he is and enable him to start again.

Aston, too, has his dreams; he has always been good with his hands and there is so much to do around the house. Aston's hopes are tied to his flash brother Mick's; he has aspirations to live in a luxurious apartment.

Human nature is a great spoiler of plans, however...

 The New York Times

"...wonderful, beautiful theatre."

 NY Daily News

"...an important work of theatrical art."
