On the very day the Bank Of England is mysteriously robbed of £55,000, PHILEAS FOGG wages his entire fortune to prove, against all odds, that he can encircle the globe in eighty days.

With his new French valet PASSEPARTOUT, FOGG leaps from ship to train to elephant to balloon, battling with restless natives in India to rescue the beautiful but strong willed PRINCESS AOUDA from certain death, and always hotly pursued by the dogged DETECTIVE INSPECTOR FIX.

FOGG - the 19th century Indianna Jones - and his unlikely companions arrive back in England just in time to miss his final connection. He has lost his bet - or has he? A final twist to the story proves that FOGG has gained far more from travelling around the world than he could ever have anticipated.

A story so vast it encompasses the entire world and all the people in it, is told with ingenuity, imagination - and just ten actors, as the men of the Reform Club continually transform themselves to become the rest of the world. The classic tale is given a modern edge as the physical journey becomes the backdrop to the more important spiritual journey of a man who learns that he is capable of love.
