Speed: The Movie, The Play
A high-octane, low-fi comedy set onboard an actual bus
There’s a bomb on a bus. If the bus drops below 50 miles an hour, it blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!
Climb onboard our vintage bus for this shameless homage to the 1994 action thriller ‘Speed’, the film which proved once and for all the best drama is on public transport.
Warning: contains Hollywood(ish) special effects and jokes about Keanu Reeves’ career.
“Way better than the film, and I loved the film.”
“If there’s more fun to be had in 60 minute at this year’s Fringe, please show me where.”
“Rollicking good fun, cleverly conceived and wonderfully enacted.”
“A fast-paced and decidedly lo-fi show, which adds to the charm of it.”
