Speed: The Movie, The Play
Pop quiz, hotshot.
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 FX and jokes about Keanu Reeves’ career.
"An action-packed, highly immersive, unapologetically cheesy, exhilarating 60 minutes of pure comedy gold" ★★★★★ Perth Happenings, 2026
"Brilliant in its scrappiness and utterly alive, you don’t just watch this; you survive it" ★★★★ X-press Mag, 2026
“If there’s more fun to be had in 60 minutes at this year’s Fringe, please show me where” ★★★★ Adelaide Advertiser, 2023
“A wonderfully silly show” ★★★★ The Age, 2024
