Around the World in 80 Days January 23, 2013

Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains! Hold onto your seats for the original amazing race. It’s 1872 and Phileas Fogg has agreed to an outrageous wager that puts his fortune and his life at risk. With his resourceful servant Passepartout, Fogg sets out to circle the globe in an unheard-of 80 days. But his every step is dogged by a detective who thinks he's a robber on the run. Danger, romance, and comic surprises abound as five actors portraying 39 characters traverse seven continents in Mark Brown's new adaptation of one of the great adventures of all time.
