As they get to know each other, they both start to share their backstories and the reasons as to why Olly is alone and how Aaron has come to be living on the streets are revealed. In order to expand the narrative from just being a two hander, whilst alone Olly also confides with his late partner fashion designer Sam, with the audience becoming his manifestation. This works to give more depth and character to Olly, however it raises the question what Olly is seeing when he talks to Sam, as he makes eye contact with most of the audience throughout, making it feel unnaturalistic and slightly odd for those in his line of gaze. A single point of contact would make more sense and lend those scenes the necessary intimacy.
There are other points scattered through the script which also jar: when Aaron returns to Olly’s the following day to pick up his clean clothes and they both burst into song over a shared knowledge of a Billy Joel song. Rather than being a touching point of connection between the pair, it’s presented as a full-on musical number, complete with dance moves from Aaron, robbing the scene of any probable authenticity.
