Delayed at Malaga Airport after a week in the sun to celebrate their graduation from school, four less-than-innocent 18 year olds caught between adolescence and adulthood reminisce about their time together. It soon becomes clear that their individual memories of the holiday are at odds, particularly when it comes to romance and the girl on all their minds…. Is she as innocent as we’re lead to think and will the boys friendships hold firm as they all face a coming of age?

The production has received rave reviews and played to sold-out houses at the Edinburgh Festival, The Summer Play Festival in New York and had a 6 week run at the Royal George Cabaret Theatre, Chicago by the Balliwick Chicago company.

Autumn 2010 saw the first fully staged London production of the show starring Chris Fountain, Verity Rushworth, Jack Shallo, Liam Tamne and Stevie Webb at the new Waterloo East Theatre.

The London production has just received a nomination for
BEST NEW MUSICAL
at the whatsonstage.com awards 2011

Departure Lounge is sharing the Best New Musical nomination with 4 West End Musicals and a show at the National Theatre. A fantastic acheivement for a 5-hander that played for just 5 weeks in a 120 seat venue.
