The Story Behind... I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die by Mark Wheeller

I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Wont Dietells the tragic true story of the death of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs following an MDMA overdose.

I hadnt realised how much scope for creativity there was with a play taken completely from other peoples words.Jacob Spargo-Mabbs - Daniels elder brother.

Fiona told her story like a piece of music. I remember crying as I related it to my wife - not because it was sad, but because it was brimful of love.Paul Ibbott - Composer of the underscore for the OYT production

This book offers a unique and fulsome guide for teaching/studying this play and includesa detailed scheme of work for teachers using the play as a set text in the GCSE Drama examination.

When Harry (playing Dan) left the cast I remember thinking What are we going to do now?The hoodie symbolising Dan was such an amazing concept to show everyone had a part of Dan in them and they were also a part of him and Dan could be anyone.Alysha Jade Patis - OYT performer

This poignant and eminently readable biography of the play is drawn from interviews with Dans family, friends and the OYT company.
