The Story Behind... I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die (Paperback)

I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won’t Die tells the tragic true story of the death of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs following an MDMA overdose. I hadn’t realised how much scope for creativity there was with a play taken completely from other people’s words. Jacob Spargo-Mabbs - Daniel’s 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 includes a 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 Dan’s family, friends and the OYT company.
