Life of Pi by Yann Martel, adapted by Lolita Chakrabarti and directed by Max Webster is screening from the National Theatre to the Market Theatre in Ledbury on Thursday, March 30.
Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel.
After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors - a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger.
Time is against them, nature is harsh: who will survive?
Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, the epic journey of endurance and hope is bought to life in a breath-taking new way for cinemas screens.
Life of Pi was originally a book by Yann Martel with a truly wonderful and heartbreaking story.
The storyline revolves around two survivors of a shipwreck who are on a lifeboat stranded in the Pacific Ocean for 227 days.
One is a sixteen-year-old Indian boy named Pi Patel and the other is a ferocious Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
