'I don't get angry, people get angry at me. In fact, I've only ever sworn once in a car… in English.'
In a hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, three people - a nurse, a delivery driver and an entrepreneur - are attending a speed-awareness course to address their aggressive driving.
Abz, a leading expert on road safety and the most in-demand course facilitator north of the M25, presents them with a choice: change your ways, or lose your licence. But the training course quickly veers into a tumultuous group-therapy session as they are forced to confront the real question: why are we all so angry?
Mohamed-Zain Dada's play Speed is a breakneck journey through the daily annoyances and deep-buried secrets that leave us spinning. Wickedly comic and darkly thrilling, it was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Milli Bhatia.
