I Love You Mum - I Promise I Won't Die

<i>I'd had a conversation specifically with Dan about ecstasy. It's one of the things you do as a parent isn't it? Wear your helmet when you're out on your bike you know don't take drugs. To be honest I was more worried about him being safe on his bike than at a party with his friends.<br/></i><br/>The words of the title are the last ones spoken by sixteen-year-old Daniel Spargo-Mabbs to his mother. In January 2014 Daniel's parents thought he was going to a friend's house. He actually attended an illegal rave and later died after taking MDMA.<br/> <br/>That fateful evening is told through the words of his school friends and family divided into two hard-hitting acts in Mark Wheeller's verbatim play.<br/><i><br/></i><i>I Love You Mum - I Promise I Won't Die</i> was commissioned by the charity set up in Daniel's memory to raise awareness about the danger of party drugs. It is a fast-paced tragic vibrant piece of verbatim theatre which should engage teenage readers audiences and performers alike.
