Life of Pi at Starlight Theatre

Life of Pi has grown into a worldwide sensation with a meaningful impact on everyone who immerses themselves into the epic tale. It first enchanted audiences in 2001 as a novel by author Yann Martel, and was later adapted into a critically acclaimed feature film that won four Academy Awards. The original story has since been adapted into a play that had its premiere in 2019 in England and premiered on Broadway in 2023.

The Broadway show proves to be equally successful as the previous materials by winning multiple prestigious awards, including a Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and Tony Awards for scenic lighting and sound design. These elements combine to move audiences. By devoting time to the small details, especially the animal puppetry, the creative team promises to fascinate audiences from the opening scene.

16-year-old Pi embarks on a trip from India to Canada alongside his parents and exotic animals from their zoo. Their ship goes down and Pi is the lone human to survive while a hyena, zebra, orangutan and a large Bengal tiger called Richard Parker also manages to stay alive at sea. Pi's adventure leads him to learn how to coexist with dangerous creatures and forces audiences to ponder the concepts of truth.
