Season 2, Episode 375, Mar 01, 03:00 PM
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews.
This week Vidar was reviewing the multi award winning stage production of Yann Martel’s Man Booker Prize winning life of Pi at the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre on Saturday 17 February at 2.30pm with description by Professional Audio Describers Rosie and Jonathan.
About Life of Pi:
Based on the best-selling book by Yann Martel, winning five Olivier Awards, including Best New Play and after conquering the West End and Broadway the stage adaptation of Life of Pi is currently touring the UK and Ireland.
Jaw-dropping visuals and world-class puppetry combine in a unique and ‘breath-taking’ (The Times) theatrical event that is ‘a wonder to behold’ (Daily Mail).
After an epic storm in the Pacific Ocean, Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors – a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger.
Based on the global phenomenon and winner of the Man Booker Prize, selling over fifteen million copies worldwide, Life Of Pi is the hugely popular story of an epic journey of endurance and hope. Don’t miss the West End and Broadway spectacle on its first ever UK tour.
