Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable
father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with:
there's her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of
her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks
that Robert left behind. And a further problem: how much of her
father's madness - or genius - will Catherine inherit? Gwyneth
Paltrow starred in this Pultizer Prize-winning play which opened at
the Donmar Warehouse in 2001.

The fabulously wealthy Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers his
life's fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty
days. Along with his hapless valet Passepartout, he sets out on a
dazzling escapade that takes him from the misty alleys of London to
the exotic subcontinent and on to the Wild West as they race
against the clock on a dizzying succession of trains, steamers, a
wind-propelled sledge and an elephant. Laura Eason's celebrated
adaptation of Jules Verne's classic novel was seen at the New Vic
Theatre, Stoke, and Manchester's Royal Exchange before receiving
its London premiere at the St. James Theatre in 2015. Packing in
more than fifty unforgettable characters, this imaginative version
of Around the World in 80 Days was written for an ensemble cast of
eight, but can be performed by a much larger cast - making it
perfect for any theatre company or drama group looking for a
high-spirited adventure.
Vir die eerste keer ooit word al die dramas, hoorspele en die libretto van N.P. Van Wyk Louw in ’n versamelbundel uitgegee, met ’n voorwoord deur prof. Chris van der Merwe.
Van der Merwe sê: “Met die herlees van die dramas, hoorspele, koorspel en libretto van N. P. van Wyk Louw het dit my opgeval hoe dikwels hulle ʼn gesprek met mekaar voer. Soortgelyke temas word herhaaldelik uitgebeeld; die tekste sluit by mekaar aan, komplementeer mekaar, spreek mekaar soms teen. Dikwels kom die temas wat Louw in sy essays bespreek het of in sy poësie tot uiting gebring het, ook in die karakterisering en die intriges van die dramas na vore. Dit is opmerklik dat die denke van Louw nooit stagneer nie; steeds is daar tekens van ʼn voortgaande worsteling en vernuwing. Die indiwiduele dramas, in die groter konteks van sy oeuvre gelees, laat ʼn fassinerende skrywerspersoonlikheid na vore kom."
