Why See Life of Pi?
Worse things happen at sea
Yann Martel's stunning Man Booker Prize-winning bestseller becomes a theatrical marvel in this highly acclaimed new adaptation of Lolita Chakrabarti that transfers into the West End from Sheffield's Crucible Theatre in early 2020.
Directed by Max Webster and with astonishing puppetry design from Finn Caldwell and Nick Barnes, the extraordinary events of one 16-year-old's fight for survival following a shipwreck are rendered in vibrant colour, music and visual wizardry in this consummate production.
What is the story?
As transformative as it is captivating, Martel's Life of Pi is a magical masterpiece that introduces us to Pi, a 16-year-old boy adrift in a lifeboat with four fellow survivors - a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a terrifying Bengal Tiger. As they navigate the unpredictable waters of the Pacific Ocean, Pi's boundless imagination soon becomes his greatest asset.
