National Theatre at Home to stream Olivier Award-winning Life of Pi from 10 April – an Easter treat for the whole family
National Theatre at Home, the National Theatre’s pioneering streaming platform, announces the release* of Life of Pi by Yann Martel, adapted by Lolita Chakrabarti. From 10 April, audiences can watch this ‘triumph’ (★★★★★ Sunday Times) which won the 2022 Olivier Awards for Best New Play, Best Actor for Hiran Abeysekera’s (The Father and the Assassin)performance as Pi, and a historic first for the seven performers who played the tiger, collectively winning Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique stage adaptation of the best-selling novel, a production from the Simon Friend Entertainment and Sheffield Theatres. 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. Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, this ‘hit’ (★★★★★ The Times) production is the perfect Easter treat for the whole family.
