Life of Pi Comes to Abu Dhabi Stage in November
Get ready for an unforgettable theatrical experience as West End’s “Life of Pi,” winner of three Tony Awards and five Olivier Awards including Best New Play, arrives in Abu Dhabi this November.
Mark your calendars for Nov. 15 – 17, when the show will captivate audiences at Etihad Arena.
A Story of Perseverance and Hope
Based on the best-selling novel with over 15 million copies sold worldwide, “Life of Pi” narrates a tale of resilience and optimism. The story’s cinematic adaptation also secured four Academy Awards.
In the aftermath of a shipwreck in the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old named Pi finds himself adrift on a lifeboat with four unlikely companions—an aggressive hyena, a wounded zebra, a gentle orangutan, and a majestic Royal Bengal tiger.
Unparalleled Theatrical Excellence
Nicolas Renna, the CEO of Proactiv Entertainment, in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, expressed his excitement about bringing this exceptional production to the UAE. Renna stated, “We are beyond thrilled to bring to Abu Dhabi such a unique play after its international success in the West End and Broadway. The production represents the pinnacle of theatrical excellence, combining innovative stagecraft with a deeply moving story that audiences know and adore. Many people may have read the book or watched the movie – but experiencing this epic tale live on stage is something you do not want to miss out on.”
