National Theatre Live: Life of Pi
January 18, 2026 | 1PM
TICKETS: $15 for Members | $20 for general public
Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel. 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, nature is harsh, 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 bought to life in a breath-taking new way for the big screen.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
Estimated runtime: 150 min including intermission.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
