Photo Flash: First Look at AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS at Hedgerow Theatre
Hop aboard Phileas Fogg's hot-air balloon as Hedgerow Theatre Company's small troupe of actors take on a global collection of carnival characters in Mark Brown's imaginative and theatrical re-imagining of Jules Verne's 1873 adventure, Around the World in 80 Days, running July 6 to August 13. All the world's a stage, literally, in this theatrical tour-de-force. Scroll down for a first look at the cast in action!
It is directed by master farceur Damon Bonetti, who helmed Hedgerow's phenomenally popular production of Patrick Barlow's The 39 Steps, as well as the hit summer farces Boeing Boeing and No Sex Please, We're British.
Around the World in 80 Days returns familiar funny faces and puts them in an exciting, and incredibly silly, rollercoaster spectacle. Danger, romance and comic surprises abound as five actors - portraying 42 characters - traverse four continents in this race against the clock.
