My name is Gina I am 18 and I believe life is no longer worth living. Last month my bastard of a father abandoned me, my 20 year old sister and her two year old daughter, this is only the beginning. Recently my sister was diagnosed with cancer and would die within three weeks if not treated, unfortunately for us ever sense dad left we’ve barley been able to survive. There’s no one who could help us. Knowing I was going to left alone raising a child when i can’t be responsible for myself, I just needed a way to escape so… I took some heroin and it was glorious but I couldn’t stop there so tried so … I tried heroin and I became addicted ,but I couldn’t stop there so I also took some cocaine, crack, angle dust and magic mushrooms. Five days later I found out I was pregnant, my heart skipped a beat while me entire body filled with fear. I couldn’t bring a child into this world knowing its horrible future so I had an abortion and got myself sterilized.

From a performance about addicted women and project prevention. I have seen and participated in a few, the one most recent is about a woman who’s addiction costs her, her child which leads to a debatable suicide at the end. One creative technique we used was having other people say horrible things that could’ve been said to her in her past and repeat it to show the woman slipping into madness and then judgemental thoughts are said in response to her  foolish decisions to regain sanity but fails.

For staging it was made clear who Focus should be on by having the drug addicted woman in front except for when she gets herself sterilise hidden away from the audience, to signify project preventions shady ness. The performance slightly taps on the possibility that project prevention is only a short term solution not in any way trying to help the people dangerously addicted to drugs to insure the child be happy with the one who are supposed to look after them.

The group could’ve brought more attention to the actual programme that claims to help and care for children who are  involved with drugs.
