The play is a highly theatrical and absurdist comedy blending influences from Aristophanes, Brecht, and Panto on the theme of being homeless in a big city. Showing an influence from Brecht, the play deliberately breaks the fourth-wall, invites improvisation, includes audience-interaction, and interrupts the action with song at a number of places, and has serious social concerns. In deference to Panto, the actors are given the freedom to ad lib, engage with the audience, invent "funny walks" or wear clothing with local references etc.
