On Wednesday 20th November our Fourth form watched a performance of ‘I Love you Mum, I promise I won’t die’ – by Mark Wheeler for the DSM Foundation (drug education charity) - a play based on the story of Dan (see below). This was followed by a workshop for the students. 

“In May 2014, just months after Dan died, the DSM Foundation commissioned award-winning playwright Mark Wheeller to write a verbatim play that told his story. The aim was to help other young people could learn the lessons he sadly no longer could, and make choices that would keep them safe. The title takes Dan’s joking last words to his mum, Fiona, before he left home for what turned out to be the last time: ‘I Love You, Mum – I Promise I Won’t Die’.”
