January 22-February 14, 2010
Written and directed by Laura Eason
Adapted from the novel by Jules Verne
A Co-Production with CenterStage
Corporate Sponsor:
Jules Verne's beloved classic is transformed into a theatrical epic by Laura Eason and the Lookingglass Theatre Company of Chicago, one of the greatest physical theatre companies in the world and originators of Metamorphoses and The Arabian Nights.
The staid and resplendently wealthy Phileas Fogg has taken a gentleman’s wager that the world cannot be crossed in 80 days. So confident is he in his calculations that it is possible that he wagers his entire fortune on the fact that he and his unreliable but ever-faithful valet can pull off this dazzling feat. Follow Fogg in a whirlwind race aboard steamships, locomotives, and pachyderms as he discovers countless exotic locales, from Calcutta to Hong Kong. Will bandits, an act of chivalry, a herd of buffalo, or an unrelenting inspector from Scotland Yard keep him from his impossible task? With a brilliant style of theatricality that has dazzled audiences in Chicago, you will experience the unimaginable fun of an elephant chase, a storm at sea, a speeding ice sled, a buffalo chase, and many other marvels. Don’t miss this marvelously fast paced, family-friendly adventure based on Jules Verne’s classic story. Appropriate for all ages.
