‘Puppetry, projection and magic
combine to stunning effect in a
superlative stage adaptation.’
The Stage
Puppetry, magic, and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel. Filmed in stunning 4k, the story of a 16-year-old boy stranded on a lifeboat with a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger is brought vividly to life. Hiran Abeysekara (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) plays Pi Patel, joined on stage by Mina Anwar (The Thin Blue Line), Raj Ghatak (The Kite Runner), and Nicholas Khan (NT Live: The Beaux Stratagem).
This epic staging of Yann Martel’s tale of endurance and hope is
adapted by Lolita Chakrabati and directed by Max Webster (Henry V). The production has been met with strong critical acclaim across national press, including many five-star reviews.
