Key Themes for this character: Love, Loyalty, Honesty and Family
As a Child: Age 7
- Funny (I wish i was our Sammy monologue)
- Excitable - plays gun/horse games
- Voice - High pitched shows age with quickly spoken dialogue to show excitable nature
- use of adult word and language 'pissed off'
- Linda - drops her as his best friend when he becomes Blood Brothers with Eddie ' She's a girl but she's alright'
- Innocent - imaginary horse, rides it like a western cowboy 'rough'.
- Body Language - fidgets and plays with his clothes. Constantly moving around and 'itching' to do something.
- Dark colours to show the change to darker times and themes in the play. Mickey made redundant and Linda pregnant and their struggle for money. Eddie home at Christmas - they argue and Mickey nearly punches Eddie.
- Mood changes quickly as Mickey becomes involved with his brother Sammy and the raid on the bank - gets sent to prison.
- Turns to drugs in prison - becomes a zombie and nothing like the Mickey the audience saw in the first act 'I need my tablets'
- Tension between him and Linda as he wants to return to drugs. Linda looks to Eddie for help making Mickey jealous and suspicious.
