Name of show: Speed: The Movie, The Play

Describe your show in a tweet? A cheeky and high-octane homage to 1994 action thriller Speed, featuring Hollywood-ish special effects and jokes about Keanu Reeves' career.

Who will your show appeal to? Action movie devotees, '90s nostalgia tragics, Keanu Reeves fans, comedy lovers, bus nerds - everybody/ We particularly love it when people say, "I don't normally like theatre, but I loved your show." If you know someone like that, bring them!

What's your creative process? How do you develop your ideas? The show began life as a fanciful idea we never thought we could actually do. Then we found a bus. Now we've been able to really develop pop culture-inspired, site specific stuff that delights both us and audiences.

What will make you stand out in the Fringe crowd? We're the only show performing on a bus! The Mercedes 171 is courtesy of the Bus Preservation Society of WA, and a portion of every ticket goes back to them to preserve these beautiful vehicles.
