I love you, mum – I Promise I Won’t DieMark WheellerThe words of the title are the last ones spoken by seventeen-year-old Daniel Spargo Mabbs to his mother.

That fateful evening is told through the words of his school friends and family in a fast-paced, tragic, vibrant piece of verbatim theatre. 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.

Script Analysis for TheatreTools for Interpretation, Collaboration and ProductionRobert Knopf

“Script Analysis for Theatre provides excellent techniques developed over a lifetime of work with actors, directors, designers, in the classroom and on stage. The book is seasoned, smart and practical, equipping students with an essential toolbox for engaging with scripts.”Jim Volz, Professor of theatre history at California State university at fullerton, uSa

Script Analysis for Theatre equips theatre students and emerging theatre artists with a shared language to analyze play scripts, communicate about them, and collaborate with others on stage productions. It offers a practical approach, grounded in case studies of a range of the most studied plays. Based largely on concepts derived from Stanislavski’s system of acting and method acting, the book focuses on action - what characters do to each other in specific circumstances, times, and places - as the engine of every play. Readers will develop the real-life skills professional theatre artists use to design, rehearse, and produce plays.
