Beautifully realized survival in ‘Life of Pi’ on tour at Kennedy Center
From: DC Theater Arts | Date: 12/26/2024
Under Max Webster’s direction, the play — save for the hospital scenes — is in constant motion, with flowing, intricate movement by Pi, members of the ensemble, and puppeteers. There are a lot of plot points compressed into Chakrabarti’s relatively compact script. Along with Webster’s rapid pace, this results in parts of the play feeling rushed, sometimes at the expense of nuance.
