Script cuts

The play comes in either a two-act 120 minute version or a one act 60 minute version. Online, I brought both as I didn't know if too much important stuff would be cut from the 60 minute version. 

Having read both scripts I preferred the one-act version all apart from a section near the end where Lauren injects herself with heroin. Cocaine use is risque enough to talk about and act out using in my school but heroin is obviously a lot worse. This was not in the original 120 minute play so I found a section of the script in the two-act which is practically the same as the one-act and cut to change the rest of the play back to the long version. 

I read through from start to finish of the new cut to check everything made sense and the cut worked perfectly and avoids any sections that wouldn't go down well.
