Around the World with Nellie Bly Theatre & Performing Arts


The true story of one-woman and her monkey's race to beat Phileas Fogg's fictional record and make it around the world in less than 80 days.


The year is 1889 and intrepid journalist Nellie Bly is about to embark on her biggest adventure yet: racing around the world to beat Jules Verne’s famous fictional hero, Phileas Fogg. In a journey that captures the imagination of the world, she traverses continents, faces fierce ocean storms, and even adopts a monkey! But can she make it back in less than 80 days?

Shedlight Stories brings their "consistently engaging" (The Scotsman) show that "delighted the audience" at the Edinburgh Fringe (FringeReview) to VAULT Festival to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Around the World in 80 Days, telling the story of the real-life woman (and her monkey) who went on the same globetrotting race.

Written by and starring Katie Overstall whose "performance is pitch perfect" (FringeReview), expect puppetry, audience interaction, original music, and a whole host of silly and wonderful characters to bring this amazing true story to life and prove that adventure stories aren’t just for boys.

Suitable for all the family (Recommended 6+)
