“It will make you believe in theatre. A triumph.” (Sunday Times)
We attended the Press Night at Royal & Derngate on the Tuesday which had a large attentive audience throughout the auditorium. The visuals on this production are truly mesmerising. You are taken through a journey and simply forget that the animals are actually puppets! The puppetry control really is outstanding and this combined with a fantastic cast makes for a great production suitable for all. A special mention to Divesh Subaskaran who performed the role of Pi, he was truly incredible and walked out for a final bow in front of a standing ovation.
