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: THE BODYGUARD at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Yuliya Pokhylko - Oct 24, 2026


The Bodyguard feels more like a tribute concert than a traditional Broadway musical. With its focus on the lead character, the show trades large-scale choreography and out-of-the-box supporting characters for a celebration of Whitney Houston’s music. Laced with nostalgia for the rhythms and styles of the '90s, the show reflects the increasing popularity of the themes, films, and music that shaped millennials’ childhood and adolescence.
