  • Rape Research
    Rape Research After scene 2, in Paulson‘s Tavern, Tara is left behind whilst it empties out. This is the perfect setting for Danni to tranquilise her with a date rape drug. This is quite a strong subject, and I felt like the whole group should put more research and get a greater understanding, so we know how to deal with the situation and portray it through our performance. Personally, I have never known anyone who has experienced this situation before, so to ensure that I would create a believable performance and reaction, I needed to get a greater understanding and look at interviews, dramas and information about date rape and the affect it has on people‘s lives. BBC Health – Rohypnol http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/rohypnol.shtml What is Rohypnol? Rohypnol is the brand name of a medicine called flunitrazepam, and is one of the benzodiazepine class of sedative or tranquilizer drugs, of which ‗Valium‘ or diazepam is perhaps the best known. Rohypnol or flunitrazepam is 10 times more potent than diazepam. In the UK the drug is no longer used in the NHS but may be available on private prescription for those who need it (although it‘s generally felt that there are better alternatives). Its legal status in the UK is a class C drug, which means that it‘s illegal to possess flunitrazepam without a prescription. It‘s not legally available in the US, but as it is still made in some countries an illegal trade continues. Rohypnol rose to prominence as the date rape drug because it was colourless, odourless, tasteless and easily dissolved - ideal for spiking drinks undetected - and causes sedation or euphoria in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
