Overview
Synopsis
Around the World in 80 Days by Laura Eason takes the classic work from Jules Verne and adapts it for the theatre. It centers on the story of Phileas Fogg, who tackles the wager that he cannot cross the world in just 80 days. In Eason's adaptation we see Fogg head out across the world visiting distant ports in a tale full of excitement and intrigue. The adaptation is highly theatrical and is written for an ensemble cast of eight, but can be performed by a much larger cast.
