By Yann Martel

One boy. One boat. One royal bengal tiger. What could go wrong? Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in an epic journey of endurance and hope.
After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi (Hiran Abeysekera, National Theatre Live’s Hamlet) is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. Time is against them, nature is harsh, who will survive?
