An extract from this play features on Edexcel’s Pearson Drama Exploration and Performance DVD pack (Unit 3). "When our Dan went missing on the 1st January 2002 we assumed that Daniel's face would be absolutely everywhere, appeals on national TV, and everyone would be aware... it wasn't like that for us." Based on the true story of Dan Nolan, a teenage boy who went missing on the night of January 1st 2002 this play has won awards at every Drama Festival it has entered and toured professionally. "I can’t remember the last time I saw a grown man, a stranger, cry in front of me. As the tale of a family in freefall unfolded, slowly and silently loved ones sought out each others' hands and clasped them tightly in the darkness to a chorus of staccato sniffs and muffled sobs. A row of young lads were trying desperately to hide their embarrassed tears in front of their mates - who wouldn't have noticed anyway because they too were sobbing. The performance is based on real conversations with the family and instead of a script there has been an editing process where their statements have been fused into a coherent and powerful dialogue."
