According to John Russell Brown, the beginning of The Caretaker is defined wholly by movement, not a work is spoken in the first episode:
Mick is alone in The Room, sitting on the bed. He wears a leather jacket.Silence.He slowly looks about The Room looking at each object in turn. He looks up at the ceiling, and stares at the bucket. Ceasing, he sits quite still, expressionless, looking out
Comment on The Caretaker as a play wholly concerned with gesture and movement more than action or dialogue.
