In 1872, Jules Verne created a huge buzz when he published “Around the World in 80 Days”, the story of an earth circumnavigating race against the clock led by Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman, and Passepartout, his French valet. 

Repeatedly adapted for the stage and screen (including a cinematic adaptation featuring Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan), this adventure novel has now been adapted by Sébastien Azzopardi and Sacha Danino into a wonderfully crazy comedy, featuring colourful, energetic and extravagant characters.
