Speed description
Have you ever been sent, tail between your legs, on a driver speed awareness course? If so you'll know the score. This play explores what happens when three troubled speedsters unexpectedly turn an ordinary course into a chaotic therapy session, and it is utterly hilarious.
The plot reveals what happens when a nurse, delivery driver and entrepreneur walk into a speed awareness course run by the talented Abz, the nation's top expert on road safety and a man who is in serious demand. Summoned to mend their wicked ways in a hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, the three are forced to face a big question: why are they all so angry?
A breakneck exploration of frustration, anger and bad behaviour
This fast-paced trek through the daily frustrations and long-buried secrets that leave people in a spin reunites playwright, screenwriter and producer Mohamed-Zain Dada with director Milli Bhatia, whose runaway success with the Olivier Award-nominated Blue Mist at the Royal Court Theatre caused a stir. Dada's previous work includes Zidane of the Ends staged at High Tide Theatre’s Inventing the Future festival in 2021, Emily (GLITCHED) In Paris at the Royal Court, and LOOT at the Jerwood Theatre downstairs. The play is being generously supported by Charles Holloway OBE.
Perfect when you want to experience something a bit different, this brilliant brand new play will get you thinking as well as laughing.
