DEPARTURES

$5.40$15.00

Lars likes to compose autobiographical sentences about him self and perform his idiosyncratic daily rituals without interruption. But beneath his obsessive and rather enigmatic persona lies the impulse to kill. And, as a globetrotting businessman, the opportunity is never far away.

When he makes his next flight to London a bereaved father, on a tragic mission to identify the body of his missing daughter, sits across the aisle. While beside him is a young and unsuspecting woman, who could well become Lars’ next victim.

REVIEW: DARK LIGHT

ADAM RAFFERTY, THEATRE PEOPLE, 11 OCTOBER 2014

"Rounding out the darkness with more of anthracite than pitch is Departures by Christine Croyden. Spinning the tale of Lars, a serial killer on the prowl, director David F Passmore keeps the pace brisk and engaging. Justin Moore bring menacing presence to the ‘Patrick Bateman’ style character by engaging in eye contact with the audience, while maintaining a confidant swagger."
