A Real Race Around the World

David Hovatter & Company

Two women. 80 days. Who will make it back first?

This is a true story. With embellishments. And live music. And dancing. But, basically, a true story.

In November 1889, The New York World newspaper sent Nellie Bly on an assignment: to beat the record of travelling the world in 80 days set by Jules Verne's fictional character, Phileas Fogg.

Unbeknownst to her, a rival publication sent another female writer later that day to try to beat her.

One went East and one went West. Using steam trains and steamships. But who won?

A fun new show for all the family, based on the real-life accounts of two extraordinary women.
