Around The World In 80 Days

From Sat 23 May View Venues, Dates & Times

It’s easy to forget that travelling across the globe used to be a very difficult and long-winded undertaking. Jules Verne’s classic adventure story, Around The World In 80 Days - here helmed by New Vic Artistic Director Theresa Heskins - offers a fun-filled reminder of a time when exotic climes really were ‘a world away’. 

Making a welcome return to the Newcastle-under-Lyme theatre’s stage, this much-loved and family-friendly production recounts the story of English gentleman Phileas Fogg’s attempt to circumnavigate the globe in the aforementioned 80 days on a wager of £20,000, aided and abetted in his endeavour by his trusty valet, Passepartout... 

Eight actors take on 109 characters, with six trains, five boats, two dances, one storm, a circus act and an elephant also featuring.
