An extract from this play appear on the new Wheellerplays Definitive Collection ADD LINK
The play was visually exciting, particularly the multi-media. Our students responded very well, were well focussed interested and entertained. Provoked thought amongst the target audience.
Sue Newman (Head of Drama) Royal Liberty School Romford.

D2D tells the story of how an incident on a bus leads to the death of a fledgling rap artist travelling to a press conference in nearby vehicle. The play sees the story from two different perspectives. Firstly the young couple who distract the bus driver... one of whom is the dead girls estranged brother. Their story is told from the months before the accident to the accident itself.

Zinc, the bus driver's story is also told... from the moment after the accident showing how it affects his life. He too was involved in the music industry having been a guitarist a top 80’s group who’s success was halted suddenly when the lead singer was jailed in the full glare of the media.

"I felt a real compassion for the characters. Content was focussed and all learning points were reinforced. I would really like all students to be able to see this!"
Chris Lee Development Manager Motorvation Projects Limited

Unlike Mark’s other plays there are only 4 characters in the play so there is no multi-rolling.

D2D is supported by an original Soundtrack and Multimedia sequences by Danny Sturrock also available from dbda.
