An action film, performed on a bus
Act React's Speed: The Movie, The Play is a live parody of the 1994 action film, performed with the audience aboard a vintage bus. The show returned to Brisbane Comedy Festival in 2026, bringing its miniature version of a Hollywood thriller to Brisbane Powerhouse's Stores Forecourt.
The premise follows the film's bomb-on-a-bus scenario, with improvised-looking special effects and comedy built around the action. The vehicle is both the setting of the story and the place the audience sits. That makes it a very different performance environment from the Powerhouse's conventional theatre spaces.
Lighting supply for an unconventional venue
Krank'd supplied ACME Tour Bars, TourPro Zoom Par Juniors and TourPro Slimpar 7s for the production. The package combined linear LED fixtures with compact pars, providing the show's team with several lighting formats for the bus-based staging.
Linear fixtures spread a series of light sources along a narrow format, while the pars offer separate points of light. That combination suited the compact equipment package supplied to Act React for its bus-based theatre setting, where the audience and action occupied the same vehicle.
