This month, Behind the Scenery goes Around the World in 80 Days.

Jules Verne’s epic novel is getting Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake’s Spring treatment as their first big show of the year. With the single minded Detective Fix of Scotland Yard in hot pursuit, will Phileas Fogg and company manage to avoid arrest and make it home before their time is up ?

Involving music, puppetry and circus, it promises to be fun for all the family and be a little bit different in the mix.

But how you get a production like this off the ground? For Episode 10 of Behind the Scenery, Tom Speight was invited to join rehearsals and met director Hal Chambers and Cumbrian born designer Louie Whitemore as plans began to get put into practice.
