Bush Theatre
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).

Review: CROCODILE FEVER, Arcola Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Oct 24, 2025


During the interval at Crocodile Fever’s London premiere, we’re all rushed out of the Arcola auditorium a little quicker than we would be normally.

Review: BLACK SABBATH - THE BALLET, Sadler's Wells
by Franco Milazzo - Oct 23, 2025


Despite the enticing cultural dissonance of its title, Black Sabbath – The Ballet is, by definition, a terrible idea. It is the conceptual equivalent of putting a tuxedo on a pit bull, or hiring Prince Andrew as your PR manager. This is what happens when the civic-minded folk at a major arts company, having dutifully listened to enough AC/DC to establish their street cred, decide they can bottle the anarchic essence of heavy metal and sell it in three-act bottles to those living off the ever-sweet smell of nostalgia and the kind of people who buy all their concert T-shirts from Vinted.

Review: 384 DAYS, Pleasance Theatre
by Amber-Rae Stobbs - Oct 16, 2025


O’Rourke turned her thoughts into a concerningly witty and twisted play that has you both rooting for and terrified of her character. With her natural humour and ability to bounce off the audience’s unscripted interactions, O’Rourke is a master at leaving the ‘review team’ unsettled and hanging onto her every word.
