Theatre Royal Winchester is set to host its third National Theatre Live cinema-screening – Life of Pi, on Saturday 1 April.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel tells the story of a 16-year-old boy called Pi who is stranded on a lifeboat after a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Pi is joined by four survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. But time is against them as nature is harsh.
Who will survive in this epic tale of endurance and hope?
This unique Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel, which has been adapted by playwright and actress Lolita Chakrabarti and is directed by Max Webster, combines great storytelling with puppetry, magic and state-of-the-art visual projection.
Early this year Theatre Royal Winchester announced it would host a number of screenings of filmed performances of National Theatre productions, filmed across London’s West End, with a live-stream performance from the Harold Pinter Theatre.
Still to come are GOOD, set in pre-war Germany; and Best of Enemies – exploring late 1960’s American morals.
The National Theatre Live productions feature well-known faces from stage and screen and are produced by award-winning crews.
Tickets for NT Live cost £16 each, with discounted rates for Members and Concessions. For more information or to book tickets visit: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840 440.
