Review; "Around the World in 80 Days" at Lucie Stern Theater

Today, I saw the TheatreWorks production of "Around the World in 80 Days" at Lucie Stren Theater in Palo Alto.

Around the World in 80 Days by Laura Eason takes the classic work from Jules Verne and adapts it for the theater. It centers on the story of Phileas Fogg, who tackles the wager that he cannot cross the World in just 80 days. In Eason's adaptation, we see Fogg head out across the World, visiting distant ports in a tale full of excitement and intrigue. The adaptation is highly theatrical.



The play was enjoyable, and my wife and I had a great time.
