Synopsis
A hilarious new adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic. This play has great scope for physical comedy, satire and buffoonery. The multiple settings involved offer great scope for an imaginative production and the comic style of writing brings a great element of fun to the story.
Having a large cast, this play will suit youth theatres with a large membership but doubling up on roles to reduce numbers is also possible. Its many exaggerated characters present an opportunity for youth theatres to develop the art of comic timing and physical range.
