Script Changes

Swear words are used constantly in 'The Audition' and it is important to keep them in in some instances, however, having these limits the people who can come to see the play.

Even without swear words in, I will put a disclaimer out that the play is not recommended for under 14s. The play contains sexual references, drug references and more things that would be inappropriate for younger students. 

The only swear I will remove is when Stella and Lauren are discussing men and Lauren says that all of them except her father are c**ts. The word makes I for one, and many other people uncomfortable and is unnecessary I believe. I've found a way to easily cut the line out and still have the scene make sense.

Another script issue I have come across is the scene in which Stella and Lauren kiss. I think this is a vital moment as it is full of tension and of course, is forcing Lauren to feel a new emotion of Lust, and soon after, Embarrassment. 


Lizzy has no issue with kissing another girl, however, if the girl who plays Lauren has a moral reason or is uncomfortable this will bring up some problems. I will try very hard to encourage the actresses but if it is a resounding no, I will change the scene slightly so Lauren is feeling the emotion of Lust and is going forward to kiss Stella then stops, inches from her lips and skips straight to the line 'S...s...sorry, I'm... I'm sorry about that'.
