Props

Many small props are used throughout the play, these are:

-Black board and chalk
-Stella’s bag
-Chair and table
-CD player/ laptop
-Lauren’s bag
-A script
-Cigarettes
-Gun
-Fake cocaine
-Mobile phone

Some of these will be easy to come by such as the CD player, a script and a mobile phone because these are things most people own anyway. 

The prop that will be hardest to find is a gun. It is crucial that the gun looks realistic because during the scene the audience and Lauren are supposed to feel like Lauren is about to be murdered and it will ruin the anticipation, tension and fear if the gun is clearly a child's toy brought at the 99p shop. I looked online for prop guns where I found plenty of websites dedicated to stage props so I have no issues about finding a suitable looking gun.

I want the play to be as realistic as possible therefore I am choosing electronic stage cigarettes so it looks like Stella is really smoking. I found these online too. http://actorcigarette.squarespace.com
