Around the World in 80 Days
A Comic Adventure
by Mark Brown
adapted from the novel by Jules Verne
February 7 – March 7, 2010
It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Jules Verne's classic tale springs to life in this clever, fast-paced comedy for the whole family. Proper gentleman Phileas Fogg strikes a wager and sets off on a race that puts his fortune and life at risk. With his faithful servant at his side, he has just 80 days to circle the globe–an inconceivable feat in the year 1872! Fierce natives, furious typhoons, runaway trains, a damsel in distress and a dogged detective threaten to delay him at every step in this delightful, whirlwind odyssey that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to unexpected end.
Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes (with one intermission)
Due to the running time, this production is not recommended for children under the age of 6.
“With this ambitious production, Lane once again proves that Triad Stage can tackle any genre in any era, and do it with the remarkable panache that has become Lane’s trademark...Around the World in 80 Days is Preston Lane on LSD: laughter, surprise, and delight. And it’s a trip you’ll want to make again and again.”
–Lynn Jessup, Classical Voice of North Carolina

“The Triad Stage production of Around the World in 80 Days is altogether wonderful. It’s one of those exhilarating shows that reminds me of what magic good theater can be…Seeing it once is just not enough.”
