The words of the title are the last ones spoken by sixteen-year-old Daniel Spargo-Mabbs to his mother
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 Ecstasy (MDMA)
That fateful evening is told through the words of his school friends and family
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
