Produced by In Good Company, Departure Lounge Festival was an arts festival for groundbreaking work in the heart of the country. Every corner of Derby Theatre and beyond was brought to life by extraordinary performances, workshops, and discussions.
We reimagined what a theatrical experience could be and were committed to supporting curious minds and artists. There was the regular mix of Edinburgh previews, the best of the East Midlands blended with the UK’s most exciting artists and companies, sharing works-in-progress, events in the S.H.E.D outside, immersive and intimate performances, and award-winning touring work.
