Around the World in 80 Days

Author(s): Jules Verne, adapted by Juliet Forster Company: Tilted Wig for York Theatre Royal Running time: 2h 15min approx Age recommendation: 5+ years

Join a raggle-taggle band of travelling circus performers as they embark on their most daring feat yet: to recreate the adventures of Phileas Fogg as he sets off on his race Around the World in 80 Days!

But wait? Who is this Nellie Bly biting at his heels? We can’t have an actual, real-life woman win this race!

The performers traverse every country, embrace each character and navigate each mode of transport as fact clashes with fiction in this madcap adventure around the globe.
