BWW Review: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS Is Your Imagination Personified at A.D. Players

The year is 1872, the setting is London, and the bet was made at exactly 8:55pm for 20,000 pounds.

Fogg, a logical and calculated gentleman is willing to bet his entire fortune on the latest claim that with the developments of railways and steam engines, one is able to go around the world in 80 days (I bet you can guess the title of this little play now, huh?). Fogg is so convinced, that he intends to complete the trip himself, with his newly hired servant Passepartout (Braden Hunt), and a few others that get strung into the chaotic voyage along the way.
