In the summer of 2020, we made a brand new stage version and live film recording of Mark Wheeller's powerful and moving play. I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die, was originally commissioned by the
Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, the drug education charity. It tells the true story of Dan, a popular 16-year-old schoolboy from South London, who attended an illegal rave in January 2014, took MDMA (ecstasy) and tragically died as a result of taking a lethal dose. The play tells the story of what happened to Dan, his family and friends, using their own words.
