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 his friends.

The words of the title are the last ones spoken by sixteen-year-old Daniel Spargo-Mabbs to his mother. One evening in January 2014, Daniel''s parents thought he was going to a friend''s house. He actually attended an illegal rave and later died after taking MDMA.

That fateful evening is told through the words of his school friends and family, divided into two hard-hitting acts in Mark Wheeller''s verbatim play.

I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won''t Die was commissioned by the charity set up in Daniel''s memory to raise awareness about the danger of party drugs. It is a fast-paced, tragic, vibrant piece of verbatim theatre, which should engage teenage readers, audiences and performers alike.
