Event Navigation
London 1872. Phileas Fogg is a stickler for timekeeping, so when members of his gentlemen’s club wager that he cannot travel around the world in just 80 days, he sets out to prove them wrong.
Accompanied by his faithful French manservant Passepartout – in reality, a young, female inventor in disguise! – Fogg must traverse numerous exotic locales if he is to win the bet. All the while, he is pursued by the very dogged detective Inspector Fix…
This promenade production will take you on a global quest to multiple locations – so be prepared to move throughout the show. Featuring fantastical steampunk stylings, plus original musical numbers by Paul Tornbohm – performed with a live accompaniment by New Orleans jazz band Red Hot & Blue – this promises to be Spontaneous Productions’ biggest and boldest show yet!
You are very welcome to bring a blanket to sit on, though we discourage bringing picnics and buggies as you will be asked to move regularly (you are very welcome to picnic in the park before or after the show!) Folding chairs can be provided for those who need them and ask those seated to sit near the back.
