Saturday, December 20, 11:30 a.m. & Sunday, December 21, 2:00 p.m. | Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award–winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel by Yann Martell. After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors:a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger. Time is against them and nature is harsh, so who will survive? Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, the epic journey of endurance and hope is brought to life in a breathtaking new way for cinema screens. (NTL)
