"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 friends. "

The words of the play's title are the last ones spoken by sixteen-year-old Daniel, to his mother.  One evening in 2014, Daniel attended an illegal rave, and later died, having taken MDMA.

An emotional story, which has proven to be a popular choice with Drama teachers, and all of us here at EHD.
