Around the World in 80 Days

Thursday 4 – Saturday 20 May @ Hull Truck Theatre

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?

The determined Fogg has bet his entire fortune that he can travel around the world in 80 days. Join him and his trusty valet, Passepartout, as they set off on a thrilling journey to faraway lands; they’ll hop from Italy to India, skip ship in Hong Kong and jump straight into dustbowl America. They’ll voyage by boat, by train, by sledge and even by elephant, on an epic whirling adventure of wonder, danger and romance!

You’ll be transported back to the most exciting age of invention in this playful theatrical extravaganza brought to life with evocative music, puppetry and circus. Join Hull Truck Theatre for the ultimate race against the clock in their bold new production of this much-loved classic tale.

24, 23, 22

Friday 5 May @ Godber Studio, Hull Truck Theatre

Don’t miss 24, 23, 22 at Hull Truck Theatre, a gig-theatre show about the heat of the moment, and how our impulses create ripples which become waves.

It’s just a day. Just an ordinary day. At the beginning of the day, Fran is late for work. At the end of the day, Brendan is bleeding out in the street. Time flows forwards and spirals backwards. Music pulses. Beats blast. Fran progresses through the worst day of her life. Brendan rewinds through his last day alive. Soon they’ll meet in the middle, and we’ll find out what has happened to him, and what will happen to her.

Dara Ó Briain: So, Where Were We?

Saturday, 6 May @ Bonus Arena

At the end of his last tour, Dara had performed the show “Voice Of Reason” 180 times, over 2 years across 20 countries, from Auckland to Reykjavik, from Moscow to New York; and by March 2020 he was ready for a break! 

He would now like to apologise for saying that and will never wish for anything like that again.

Yes, he’s back on tour, and he will never stop again, because that’s clearly what caused all this trouble. Instead, in his new show ‘So, Where Were We?” Dara will hardly mention the last few years, because, Jesus, who wants to hear about that? Instead, Dara will fire out the usual mix of stories, one-liners, audience messing, and tripping over his words by talking too quickly because he’s so giddy to be back in front of a crowd.

Get ready to get LOST IN MUSIC! The show that everyone is talking about, now even BIGGER!
