Based on one of the best-loved works of fiction – winner of the Man Booker Prize, selling over fifteen million copies worldwide – Life of Pi is a breath-taking new theatrical adaptation of an epic journey of endurance and hope. After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, there are five survivors stranded on a single lifeboat – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, a sixteen-year-old boy and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Time is against them, nature is harsh, who will survive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7GhvaKntK8 https://britishtheatre.com/life-of-pi-release-new-production-photographs-at-wyndhams-theatre/     Life Of Pi UK Tour 2023-24 Dates Severn Theatre Shrewsbury 6 - 11 May 2024 BOOK TICKETS Mayflower Theatre Southampton 14 - 18 May 2024 BOOK TICKETS Everyman Theatre Cheltenham 3 - 15 June 2024 BOOK TICKETS Theatre Royal Glasgow 17 - 22 June 2024 BOOK TICKETS Festival Theatre Edinburgh 25 - 29 June 2024 BOOK TICKETS Leeds Grand Theatre 2 - 13 July 2024 BOOK TICKETS Northampton Derngate Theatre 15 - 20 July 2024 BOOK TICKETS
