Lolita Chakrabarti’s dazzling Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of Life of Pi has confirmed that it will follow its year-long UK and Ireland tour with an international tour, beginning at the Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam in August 2024.

Of the production’s international extension, producer Simon Friend said: “We have been enormously grateful for, and excited by, the interest in Life of Pi by theatres internationally. While our show will encounter many different cultures on its travels, this wonderful story which celebrates human resilience against adversity is entirely universal. It also seems that lots of people love puppets.”

Life of Pi began its first-ever tour of the UK and Ireland at Sheffield’s Lyceum theatre this August and is currently playing an extended season at the Chichester Festival Theatre. Following its Christmas season at The Lowry, Salford, the UK and Ireland tour then continues on to Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle, Birmingham, Belfast, Dublin, Plymouth, Leicester, Bromley, Hull, Northampton, Coventry, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, Southampton, Truro, Cheltenham, Glasgow, and finally Edinburgh in June 2024.

The production is directed by Max Webster, with set and costume design by Tim Hatley, puppet design by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell, puppet and movement direction by Caldwell, video design by Andrzej Goulding, lighting by Tim Lutkin, sound by Carolyn Downing, composition by Andrew T Mackay, and casting by Polly Jerrold.
