Shepherds Bush Green London

A nurse, a delivery driver, and an entrepreneur walk into a speed awareness course…



Abz is the UK’s leading expert on road safety and the most in-demand course facilitator north of the M25.



In an entirely average hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, three speedsters are summoned to his class with a choice: change your ways, or lose your licence.



But a routine training course quickly veers into a tumultuous group therapy session as they are forced to confront the real question: why are you all so angry?



SPEED is a break-neck journey through the daily annoyances and deep-buried secrets that leave us spinning. Hilarious and heartfelt, this world premiere production reunites writer Mohamed-Zain Dada and director Milli Bhatia after the wild success of the Olivier Award-nominated, Blue Mist (Royal Court).
