People behind the production
Life of Pi is a groundbreaking stage adaptation by Lolita Chakrabarti that brings Yann Martel's acclaimed novel to life through mesmerizing puppetry and innovative design. Premiering in 2019 in Sheffield, the production moved to London's West End (2021) and Broadway (2023), earning the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2022 and multiple Tony Awards on Broadway in 2023, including Best Scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, and Best Sound Design. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, with a single intermission, and features life-size animal puppetry operated by a skilled team, notably the Richard Parker puppeteer crew, to vividly portray Pi's extraordinary journey.
