Description
Daniel's final words to his mother are a poignant reminder of the dangers of party drugs. In this powerful verbatim play, his school friends and family share their memories of that fateful evening, which led to his tragic death. Commissioned to raise awareness about the risks of ecstasy, the play is a fast-paced and thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of reckless behaviour. The play is divided into two acts, presented in a raw and unflinching manner that is both engaging and unsettling. It is a powerful tribute to Daniel's memory, and a stark warning to young people about the dangers of taking risks with their health and wellbeing. This play is a hard-hitting and thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of party culture, and is likely to resonate with teenage readers and audiences alike.
