Missing Dan Nolan
by Mark Wheeller
Missing Dan Nolan is based on the true story of 15 year old Daniel Nolan, who disappeared on New Year's Day 2002 after fishing with friends on the River Hamble in Hampshire.
The play explores the mystery of Dan’s disappearance and the tragic events that occurred that night; raising issues concerning personal safety and the importance of looking out for your mates.
Playwright Mark Wheeller employs a documentary-style and includes transcripts from interviews conducted with Daniel's family, friends (including those whom were with him that night) and the detective in charge of the investigation.
"Although
we’ve lost our Dan, I feel very proud. All the issues about Dan’s
disappearance and the safety issues surrounding teenagers are in the play
and it must continue to raise awareness."
Pauline Nolan (Daniel’s mother)
This
performance will complement the GCSE Drama curriculum and is also relevant
for students of PSHE, Citizenship and English.
