Incredibly imaginative stage design - transforming a bare hospital room into a lively colourful Indian zoo, a cargo ship in a storm, a life boat on the open sea. Brilliant puppertry that brought the animals to life.

This show is the best I have seen in a long,long time! Everything about it was amazing,the staging, the costumes, the puppetry, the latest technology and of course the wonderful wonderful storytelling. I have never before seen actors and puppeteers so intertwined all skillfully taking on the role of both actor and puppeteer. The whole production was truly dazzling and inspirational, I would love to see it all again!

We knew the story and I was sceptical about it being convincing....but I was soon drawn into the magical way it was performed. Simplicity in places was so apt. All over too soon as far as we were concerned. Tube strike made our journeys terrible but we were pleased the show was more than worth it. Actors seemed to enjoy themselves too. Don't miss it!

We’ve just had our minds blown away by the stage version of ‘The Life of Pi’. Acting, lighting, effects and puppetry were all outstanding. Yet again this story moves, intrigues, and inspires. we’ve read the book, seen the film and now watched the play. And each version has uncovered the strory’s beautiful truths a little more. The play was utterly incredible. I even felt empathy for the animals. If you get the chance to see it, DO SO! It’s one of those life stories and one of those plays you will never forget - it will stay with you and remind you of the human strengths of facing your fears, doing what you feel is right for you - and never giving up in the face of adversity. It’s also about so much more. ❤️

This is a wonderful theatrical experience, I am a huge theatre fan and attend performances at least twice a month. The 'Life of Pi' sets are amazing, clever and inventive enhanced by incredibly skilled lighting and visuals. It is always hard to translate an iconic book like 'Life of Pi'across to theatre, television or cinema and something is bound to be lost in the process. By enlarge this was a successful transfer, what was lost in the narrative was compensated for by the enormity of the vision and the total success of the sets and puppetry. At times the acting was somewhat wooden and stilted, I am not a fan of 'blind casting' and for me the insertion of white actors as Indians was jarring and unnecessary, however that aside it is certainly a production that I am very glad I did not miss.

A faithful and, (if not somewhat thematically biased) visually stunning adaptation of the book. The costume, prop and stage design perfectly convey the thematic importance of Pi's account at sea, which like the direction, bring a new perspective to an audience with prior knowledge (or in retrospection), if not slightly limiting further interpretations.

My only quibble was that the some of the actors seemed to be shouting rather than projecting and this jarred a little.
