About the show

The National Theatre's phenomenon War Horse has enjoyed sell out runs in London, on Broadway and across the globe. Based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo, this play uses puppetry and live action to tell a bittersweet tale of a young boy and his horse separated during the First World War. The Handspring Puppet Company bring the story to life with impressive life size horse puppets. The show is currently playing at the New London Theatre, where the vast stage surrounds the audience and makes this a theatrical experience you will remember for years to come. The play has even been adapted into a Stephen Spielberg film.

War Horse is set in Devon at the start of the First World War. Young Albert's best friend in the world is his horse Joey, who is sold to the Cavalry to serve in the war in Europe. After an impressive Odyssey from both parties, an epic journey begins to reunite the pair. After opening initially at the National's Olivier Theatre, the play went on to win many major awards and continues to be one of the best selling shows in London. The New York production won 5 Tony Awards including Best Play and sparked a US National tour.

Adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford and directed by the sensational Marianne Elliot and Tom Morris.

Make sure you do not miss this once in a lifetime piece of theatrical magic.
