PLAY SYNOPSIS
It is 1872, and Phileas Fogg, a modest but somewhat eccentric English gentleman of independent means, has agreed to an outrageous wager of £20,000 (equivalent in 2026 to nearly AUD $6 million), which puts both his fortune and his life at risk.
Accompanied by Passepartout, his resourceful and faithful French servant, Fogg sets out to circle the globe in 80 days, which in the late 1800’s was considered an almost impossible task. Fogg, methodical, calm, and mathematically precise in his daily life, is undaunted by the challenge, but his every step is dogged by a detective who thinks Fogg is a robber on the run.
Danger, romance, and comic surprises abound in this whirlwind of a show, as a small group of actors portraying 39 characters, traverse seven continents in a theatrical adaptation of one of the great adventures of all time.
This is an amateur production by arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of Dramatic Publishing Company.
