The sound was spot on, lighting was beautifully executed and the puppetry was sensational. Great actors and actresses who really know their knowledge and spent years in their trade to perfect their skills. Very well done! 

The staff at the Wyndhams Theatre were polite and well organised and didn't make you feel like just a number so it made the experience even better. 

Thank you and I certainty recommend this production. Very well put together :). read less

The animal puppets worked really well. We were seated at the very top (grand circle), in the last row and we had a very good view of the stage. The seats are not comfortable. The Wyndham is a beautiful Victorian theatre. We went to a Sunday matiné and it was packed! If you like the book, you'll love this production! read less

The set & stage design is genius & the puppetry incredible. Lead actor, Hiran Abeysekera could not be more suited to the role of Pi (despite being considerably older than 17), he gives an outstanding performance. read less

It was a Saturday evening and we reached around 7.00 PM at the theatre. We had not booked tickets but decided to try our luck at the Box office. We were lucky to have managed 2 tickets in the Grand Circle just in time. It was a relatively a small in size theatre but nicely done up. The show was also top class and we really enjoyed. Overall a good visit to a good theatre to see a good show. Highly recommended. read less
