Synopsis

by Laura Eason, original author Jules Verne

Directed by Alex Whitaker

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with NICK HERN BOOKS

"The world is surprising, isn’t it, Mr Fogg?" "That all depends on what one is expecting."

When eccentric and wealthy Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers his life's fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, the adventure of a lifetime begins for him and his hapless valet Passepartout.

Together, they race against the clock on a dizzying succession of trains, ships, sledges and elephants, journeying from the highs of the Indian mountains to the wild plains of America, and across everything in between.

Outwitting the police, fighting off bandits, and maybe even picking up a passenger or two along the way, Fogg and Passepartout are joined in spectacular fashion by over fifty unforgettable characters in this high-flying, free-wheeling, globe-trotting spectacular!

Relaxed Performance on Saturday 12th December 2.30pm

Open to anyone who feels they would benefit from seeing a theatre performance in a more informal environment. Numbers will be limited to keep the atmosphere as relaxed as possible.

The show will be slightly adapted - the sound will be turned down a little and the theatre lights turned up and a relaxed performance always includes a relaxed attitude to noise and movement (voluntary and involuntary) in the auditorium.

There will be a special ‘quiet’ zone for anyone who might feel uncomfortable at any point in the performance. This will be a safe and supervised space for audience members to come out if they should find that the auditorium starts to become overwhelming.

There’ll also be lots of friendly members of the Front of House team to welcome you.  We can provide a visual (social) story for anyone who needs it as well as a clear synopsis. Please contact the office on 01943 609539 if you require a copy of the "Social Story" in advance.
