Lolita Chakrabarti’s dazzling Olivier Award-winning stage adaption of Yann Martel’s best-selling novel Lifetime of Pi, starring a unprecedented life-size puppeteered Bengal Tiger. Starting its first-ever tour of the UK and Eire at Sheffield’s Lyceum theatre this August 2023, the place it runs from 29 August to 16 September 2023, Divesh Subaskaran is confirmed to make his skilled debut within the central position of Pi.

He’s joined by Antony Antunes, who performs as Tiger Hind / Cook dinner / Father Martin, Adwitha Arumugam as Pi Alternate, Bhawna Bhawsar as Lulu Chen/Mrs Biology Kumar, Ralph Birtwell as Mamaji/ Admiral Balbir Singh, Kriss Dosanjh as Father, Sebastian Goffin as Tiger Head, Akash Heer as Tiger Head, Romina Hytten as Tiger Coronary heart and Hind, Katie Kennedy-Rose as Tiger Coronary heart and Hind, Aizah Khan as Tiger Coronary heart and Hind, Chand Martinez as Pandit-ji, Keshini Misha as Rani,

Based mostly on one of many best-loved works of fiction – winner of the Man Booker Prize, promoting over fifteen million copies worldwide – Lifetime of Pi is a breath-taking new theatrical adaptation of an epic journey of endurance and hope.

After a cargo ship sinks in the midst of the huge Pacific Ocean, there are 5 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 in opposition to them, nature is harsh, who will survive?
