The National Theatre of London continues its season with its acclaimed new production of “Life of Pi” showing in Sedona on Sunday and Wednesday, Feb. 1 and 4.

The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere at its Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

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 cinemas screens.
