Speed - Paperback

by Mohamed-Zain Dada (Author)

Speed awareness has never been this emotionally charged--or this funny. --West End Best Friend

In a hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, three people--a nurse, a delivery driver and an entrepreneur--are attending a speed-awareness course, due to their aggressive driving. Abz, the UK's 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?

Wickedly comic and darkly thrilling, Mohamed-Zain Dada's play Speed is a breakneck journey through the daily annoyances and deep-buried secrets that leave us spinning.
