Derby Day

Information

A murder in a small Fife town has shaken the community to its core. A lifelong friend is gone, the investigation drags on, but does someone know
more than they are telling? On the day of the Edinburgh Derby, secrets are revealed, the scars of the past burn anew and relationships are pushed to the breaking point.

Derby Day, a new writing drama from Without Compromise
Theatre, made it’s debut at Edinburgh Fringe 2025. This play addresses the damage caused by the sexual abuse, unbroken cycles of violence and knife crime that threaten working-class communities throughout Scotland. This piece has lived-experience at its core.
