Life of Pi at Starlight Theatre

Life of Pi has blossomed into a worldwide sensation with a meaningful impact on everyone who immerses themselves into the epic tale. It first grabbed people's attention in 2001 as a book by author Yann Martel, and was later adapted into a widely-praised 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 opened on Broadway in 2023.

The Broadway production proves to be equally successful as the other materials by winning multiple prominent awards, including a Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and Tony Awards for scenic lighting and sound design. These elements blend together to amaze audiences. By emphasizing the small details, particularly the animal puppetry, the creative team promises to grip audiences from the time the curtain rises.

Here, 16-year-old Pi embarks on a voyage from India to Canada with his parents and exotic animals from their zoo. When their ship sinks, Pi is the lone human to survive while a hyena, zebra, orangutan and a large tiger named Richard Parker also manages to stay alive at sea. Pi's adventure leads him to learn how to coexist with wild creatures and forces audiences to think about the concepts of truth.
