NT Live: Life of Pi (12A)

A 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors—a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger.

Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of Yann Martel’s 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 and 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.
