The countdown is on to the award-winning playLife of Pi arriving at The Lowry, Salford this festive season.
The show, which features ‘Richard Parker’ a life-size puppeteered Royal Bengal Tiger, will be at The Lowry from Tuesday 5 December 2023 to Saturday 6 January 2024.
Based on Yann Martel’s winner of the Man Booker Prize= that sold 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?
Life of Pi first opened to critical acclaim at the Crucible theatre in Sheffield in 2019. International commitments for the show include its North American Premiere at the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University where it ran from 4th December 2022 to 29th January 2023, followed by its Broadway premiere at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater where it opened on 9th March 2024.
A European tour will follow the tour of the UK and Ireland and there are plans underway for a tour of Australia and Asia.
