HUMSHAUGH village hall will soon play host to a new production from theatre group the Crown Players.

Their production of the classic adventure story 'Around the World in 80 Days' will be performed on March 9, 10 and 11 at 7.30pm.

In this story, set in the late Victorian period and written by Jules Verne in 1872, wealthy gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers his life's fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days.

Director Diana Linnett said: "It has been a challenge bringing the whole world into the confines of a small stage in Humshaugh Village Hall but with a bit of technical wizardry and some spirited performances we hope that we can transport our audiences into some exotic places and a few slightly dodgy situations."

Tickets, priced at £10 for adults and £6 for under 18's, are available from Humshaugh Village Shop or via Eventbrite.
