I Love You Mum I Promise I Won t Die — Kolektif

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 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 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 I Love You Mum I Promise I Won t Die 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 Tanıtım Bülteninden
