About

Around the World in 80 Days

 

by Mark Brown 
adapted from the novel by Jules Verne

February 7 – March 7, 2010

It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Jules Verne's classic tale springs to life in this clever, fast-paced comedy for the whole family. 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! Fierce natives, furious typhoons, runaway trains, a damsel in distress and a dogged detective threaten to delay him at every step in this delightful, whirlwind odyssey that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to unexpected end.

Preston Lane Takes Triad Stage Patrons on a Remarkable Trip Around the World in 80 Days
Classical Voice of North Carolina
February 14, 2010

What could be more staid than the Victorian stage? Heavily draped curtains, overdone fringe, portraits of pompous dignitaries, painstakingly painted backdrops.

Enter Preston Lane.

Thanks to Triad Stage’s co-founder and artistic director, chaos erupts within this stuffy Victorian setting, and the theater’s audiences are whisked away on a rollicking whirlwind tour: Around the World in 80 Days, adapted from the 19th century Jules Verne adventure novel by Mark Brown.
