Around the World in 80 Days
October 14 – November 8, 2009
Adapted by Mark Brown from the Novel by Jules Verne
“My first draft of the script was nearly as long as Fogg’s journey around the world. It felt like eighty days. I was almost forced to put in a dinner break and serve food from around the world.” While he managed to condense the play into two hours, Mark Brown’s natural humor radiates throughout the play, especially in the characters he has developed. In this staging at Theatrical Outfit, there is a particulary unique casting twist: Father/ Daughter actors, James Donadio (Actor 1 and Others) and Kate Donadio (Aouda and Others), will be sharing the stage for the first time in their professional careers.
But, 80 Days is more than a comical romp across the corners of the continent: “Fogg’s journey reveals the true purpose of his spirit, and invites a lifting of the conditions suggested by his surname. When we can escape the limits of schedules, rules, regimens, and obligations, we find in ourselves the more open spaces of life, the longer, more meditative rhythms of nature, and the true goal of our very existence,” says director Clint Thornton.
