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 effects and jokes about Keanu Reeves’ career.
