Heartbreaking and painful, but a must-have text for your GCSE students.
Written about the tragic death of a teenager, using verbatim theatre to tell the story from the perspective of his parents, friends and teacher. Not only a poignant and real-life story, but an excellent text for your students to tackle difficult subjects using techniques such as ensemble, verbatim theatre, cross-cutting, flashbacks etc.
And we've got a teaching resource pack to go with it too.
"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.
