About Around the World in 80 Days

Intrepid adventurer, Phileas Fogg, risks his reputation, his fortune and his very life when he wagers that he can circumnavigate the globe in a record-breaking 80 days! Accompanied by his loyal valet, Passepartout, he sets off by land, sea and air on a whirlwind odyssey across all seven continents. Facing perils ranging from typhoons to elephant stampedes to runaway trains, the resourceful duo perseveres. But as they rush to beat the clock, they face an even grater danger: a relentless detective in hot pursuit who believes that Fogg is a bank robber on the run.

Packed with hilarious situations and thrilling action, the race – and the chase – are on. Five actors portray 39 characters in this rollicking adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic tale, “Around the World in 80 Days.” Come along on this unforgettable journey adapted by Mark Brown from the novel by Jules Verne and Directed by Karen Sabo.
