This poignant and eminently readable biography of the play is drawn from interviews with Dan’s family, friends and the OYT company.

‘I hadn’t realised how much scope for creativity there was with a play taken completely from other people’s words.’ Jacob Spargo-Mabbs – Daniel’s elder brother.

‘Fiona told her story like a piece of music. I remember crying as I related it to my wife – not because it was sad, but because it was brimful of love.’ Paul Ibbott – Composer of the underscore for the OYT production

‘When Harry (playing Dan) left the cast I remember thinking “What are we going to do now?” The hoodie symbolising Dan was such an amazing concept to show everyone had a part of Dan in them and they were also a part of him and… Dan could be anyone.’ Alysha Jade Patis – OYT performer
