Get ready for adventure with Around the World in Eighty Days

By Caroline King - November 26, 2011Posted in : Theatre

Around the World in Eighty Days, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre When: 9th December 2011 – 7th January 2012 at 7.45pm

Where: Jack Studio Theatre, 410 Brockley Road, London SE4 2DH

£: 13 (10 concessions). Family Ticket 40 (two adults and two U18s)

What is it?

Brute Farce present a new adaptation of  Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days.

Will Phileas win his wager and be the first to navigate the globe in only 80 days?

This brand new re-telling of Jules Verne’s classic tale whisks the audience from rainy station platforms in nineteenth century London to a technicolour, Bollywood vision of the tropics and the frozen wastes of North America.  With trade-mark physical invention the Jack’s Christmas show brings Phileas Fogg, his faithful servant and various pursuing police officers, Indian princesses and Wild West bullies garishly to life.

Produced by the same in-house team behind The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, A Christmas Carol, Jane Eyre and The Hound of the Baskervilles.
