The Human Race Theatre Company Brings AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS to Dayton

The Jules Verne classic, Around The World in 80 Days, comes to Dayton, Ohio next year! The comedy, directed by Joe Deer, comes to The Human Race Theatre Company from February 28 to March 17, 2019.

Around The World in 80 Days takes the classic story and spins it by using 5 actors to play up to 39 characters. It is a story of adventure and ultimately of love.

First published in 1873, the story of Phileas Fogg became one of Jules Vernes' most acclaimed works. In 2001, the stage adaptation by Mark Brown was released, utilizing 5 actors to play the many characters. The script has been produced around the world, from Utah and New York to Bangledesh and New Zealand.

Proper gentleman Phileas Fogg strikes a wager and sets off on a race that puts his fortune and life at risk. With his faithful servant at his side, he has just 80 days to circle the globe-an inconceivable feat in the year 1872!
