London's West End production of Life of Pi, Lolita Chakrabarti's stage adaptation of Yann Martel's novel, has ended its run at the Wyndham's Theatre. Playbill reported that upon closing this past Sunday, the play had almost 500 performances. It was awarded five Olivier Awards, including best new play, in April 2022. A 2012 film adaptation of the novel won Oscars for direction, cinematography, score, and visual effects.
Chakrabarti's Life of Pi is currently making its North American premiere at the American Repertory Theater, Cambridge, Mass., through January 29, prior to a Broadway debut March 9 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
