thestoryprofessor 's review for:

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

4.0

Unlike my review for the stage adaptation of Kite Runner, this adaptation does not lack the nuance and world building of the source material. I actually find that its structure, plot, characters, themes, and then, of course, all of the theatrical storytelling choices made create a perfect theatrical tone for a story known for its incredible literary tone. A lot is still left with the design team and director to put the world together, but this playwright rendered clear parameters (mainly view prose-like stage directions and the pieces structure and pacing) for all other artists to play within.
