The first auditions for Harleston Players’ January 2018 show ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ will take place on Tuesday 26 September at Jays Green, Harleston.
The play, adapted from the Jules Verne book by local playwright Eileen Ryan, tells the story of Phileas Fogg and his crazy bet to travel around the world in just 80 days.
Breaking the orderly routine of his daily life, the coolheaded Englishman and his hot-blooded French manservant Passepartout immediately set off for Dover. They must overcome storms, kidnappings, natural disasters, Sioux attacks and Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard - who believes Fogg has robbed the Bank of England - to win this extraordinary wager. In a race against time, Phileas Fogg can't afford to lose his cool.
David Cumming, the director, said, “This will be a fast paced, exciting show, girdling the world, crossing continents, travelling by train, steamship, sailing boat, sledge and even elephant. If you are keen to be involved in this show, there is a large selection of parts so do come along to the auditions.”
Auditions will be at Jays Green, Harleston, on:
Tuesday 26 September 14 - adult 8pm
Sun 1 October 14 - adult 2 - 4pm
Tue 3 October (Call back if required) 7 - 10pm
