The Bus follows the progress of a boy as he familiarises himself with the politics of the school bus and learns for himself the rules of survival, and acceptance. 

This is an ensemble piece with seven actors playing multiple roles. The production zings with explosive energy and breathtaking physical hijinks.

While the play specifically reflects the child’s world, its universal theme makes it relevant to all ages.

"You will be hard-pressed to find a more energised and boisterously funny show for children this year" - The Irish Times
