Male (25+) – A precise, reserved English gentleman of means. Obsessed with punctuality, logic, and order. Though he seems emotionless, he has quiet courage and a strong moral compass. His composure anchors the chaos of the journey.
Male (25+) –Fogg’s French valet—energetic, loyal, and easily flustered. Warm-hearted and earnest, he often provides comic relief and emotional grounding. His impulsiveness and courage contrast sharply with Fogg’s calm detachment.
Male (25+) –A bumbling but determined Scotland Yard detective convinced Fogg is a bank robber. His pursuit drives much of the action. He’s hilariously overconfident yet oddly sympathetic—a fool with conviction.
Female (25+) –Plays Aouda, an Indian princess whom Fogg rescues from ritual sacrifice. Intelligent, kind, and composed, she represents compassion and humanity, gradually warming the stoic Fogg’s heart. And a variety of other characters
Male or Female (25+) –(Ensemble) – play dozens of roles: servants, reporters, train conductors, foreign dignitaries, ship captains, and more — often switching accents and costumes at lightning speed.
The play blends Victorian adventure with Monty Python–style farce. Characters are richly drawn but heightened for theatricality—committed, playful, and self-aware. Timing, transformation, and ensemble cohesion are key
