20 January – 14 February

A man dressed in an LAPD SWAT vest stands at the front of a bus full of passengers. They are looking at him as he stares up at the ceiling, as if looking for something.
A woman with brown curly hair and a white top sits at the driver's seat of a bus, smiling at the camera. Kneeling in front of her is a man with brown hair dressed as an LAPD SWAT officer. He is pointing outside the door, towards the camera, looking very cool.
On the left of the image is a city bus. A cop with the name "KEANU" on the back of his SWAT vest aims a fake gun at the bad guy Dennis, who is also dressed as a cop. Next to him is a woman in a pink jacket with a fake bomb hanging around her neck. On the right is the front of a train.

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.
