Edward (never Ted) has delivered his talk on speed awareness 2191 times over the last 10 years. Today, it’s not quite going to plan.

A new, interactive drama about the impact of speed on your driving and how what happens in your life will have consequences when you get behind the wheel. Inspired by actual speed awareness courses, the piece uses the vehicle of a talk about the effects of speeding on our lives as a background against which Edward’s struggles play out. Featuring audience participation and involvement in observation tasks and speeding facts and figures, the talk may encourage you to, as Edward says, "drive like it matters".

Devised by A G Anderson who last worked with Blueberry Goose Theatre Group penning the ★★★★ show 1:2:2192 Retribution Day that premiered at Edinburgh 2022, EDWARD’S TALK - WHAT’S DRIVING YOU? features Andrew Bruce-Lockhart, a director and producer of film and theatre, in his first acting role.

Director Andrew Bruce-Lockhart AD of Blueberry Goose is a film and theatre writer/director. He performed Edward's Talk - What's Driving You at the Ed Fringe 24, his first time as an actor, as a devised piece with no script, as his slightly odd brain doesn't allow him to learn lines. With the assistance of director Julia Stubbs Hughes, they developed that show as a non-scripted piece.

This new re-imagined version of the show at the Faversham Fringe is a stripped-back, no-tech, scripted interactive show, with actor Paul Bridger, that Blueberry Goose Theatre Group plans to take into schools as an educational piece to try and help new drivers be safer on the road.

Reviews for previous Blueberry Goose Theatre Group productions

★★★★ “They would often look out into the crowd and in the close (passionate) space it felt like peering into your soul, which was all this play was about” Mumbletheatre.net on 1:2:2192 Retribution Day

★★★★ “Talking about God is never easy, especially if you don’t want to fall into clichés, or judgments or hurt somebody’s conscience. God 2.0 is a courageous play that accomplishes all this” Londontheatrereviews.co.uk on God 2.0
