Around the World in 80 Days

18th December - 29th December 2026
Synopsis Race across continents in a daring theatrical adventure with Around the World in 80 Days, a fresh, fast-moving take on the classic tale by Jules Verne. When the precise and unflappable Phileas Fogg makes an outrageous wager that he can circle the globe in just eighty days, he sets off on a journey that quickly becomes anything but predictable. With his resourceful valet Passepartout by his side, every leg of the trip brings adventure… and often peril. Laura Eason’s adaptation transforms the classic Jules Verne story into a piece of theatrical magic. It’s a show full of daring, energy and wit, but it also has heart. All in all, it’s a perfectly joyous outing for the family this Christmas.
