AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS races its way around the globe, taking in continents, intrigue, love, and even an elephant – all in the name of a bet. The eccentric Phileas Fogg wagers his life’s fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days with his traveling companion Passepartout. The complicating factor? In Victorian England, there are no planes. This is an incredible tale of adventure for all the family. The small cast will transport you around the world, via a multitude of characters, thirty-four scenes, six boats, five trains, three fights, and a circus, together with wonderfully funny feats of imagination.
