What is one of the central themes in the play Men Should Weep any is this the case?

Poverty is one of the central themes in Ena Lamont Stewart's play Men Should Weep as seen through the setting of the play and in the characters' dialogue. Set in Glasgow during the 1930s depression the world of the play points to this as a concern, while the stage set of a tenement with little space due to the furniture supports that the poverty caused by the depression is impacting the characters. Throughout the play, the dialogue also suggests that poverty is a central concern that Lamont Stewart wishes to address. In Act III, Jenny states: "It’s rotten, this hoose. Rotten. Damp. Ye ken yersel. It’s a midden looking oot on ither middens. It’s got rats, bugs." Here, Jenny describes the dire living conditions her family are living in, which indicate poverty.
