Jean-Michel, As a lucky coincidence at JV's birthday, I happened to be able to attend a production of an adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days here in Tarpon Springs, FL. There were only 5 actors playing all the parts (Passepartout was played by a woman), and there was a warning -No Balloon. Recalling the original play, I was hoping for an elephant! They had an interesting minimal set - with a world map in the background, and used a table turned around in various configurations for just about every vehicle, with ships' names printed on the different side-faces, so that you only saw them when that ship was in use. The elephant had the table covered with a gray cloth. Would you like a copy of the play bill?
Yours,David McCallister
