Around the World in 80 Days
Prev       Next
Adapted by Mark Brown
From the novel by Jules Verne

Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains!

Unabashed slapstick! Hold onto your seats as fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg and his faithful manservant race to circle the globe and beat the clock! Danger, romance, and comic surprises abound in this whirlwind of a show, as five actors portraying 39 characters traverse seven continents in this brand new adaptation. ÏWriter Mark Brown has taken Jules VerneÌs century-old comic novel and made it gallop across the stage. If this show doesnÌt make you laugh, youÌll have to look hard for something that will.Ó
