Around the World in 80 Days
Around the World in 80 Days The story begins with a bank robbery by a mysterious figure. Then we are introduced to Mr. Fogg, honest-looking, well-turned out, and with good teeth. He is accompanied by his newly-acquired valet, Mr. Passepartout. Hot in their pursuit is the detective Fix of Scotland Yard, who thinks that Fogg is the man who robbed the bank. This mad-cap adventure quickly moves along on a succession of locomotives, steamers, and hilarity. This adaptation is a healthy dose of Monty Python nonsense and slapstick.

The Odyssey
In a brand new creative theatrical adaptation, we retell the story of Odysseus and his famously inconvenient journey home from the Trojan War. Packing a decade of adventures into a breathless 75 minutes, our heroic cast creates a mythical world of hungry monsters, devious sorceresses and frequent shipwrecks as the resourceful Odysseus battles to return to his family. A classic story meets high-energy storytelling… you’d have to tie yourself to a mast to miss it!
