Speed: The Movie, The Play
The bus is exploding back into perth!
Pop quiz, hotshot!
We’re headed back to Perth FRINGE WORLD!
Speed: The Movie, The Play is returning to the west in January/February 2026.
The bus will be parked in the fabulous Pleasure Garden hub on James Street, and will run for the entire four weeks of the festival.
It’s our third time in Perth, and our first featuring a fully local Perth cast!

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.
