War Horse has to be the most successful production by the National Theatre in living memory. Since opening in 2007 it has scooped the Olivier, Evening Standard and the Critics Circle awards and it now transfers to the New London for a West End run which will be one of the hot tickets of the year.
Adapted from the well-loved Michael Morpurgo children's book, this epic piece uses puppetry, effects, and innovative staging to recreate the terrifying landscape of the First World War for audiences young and old. Seasoned critics have been left speechless by the inventiveness of the production.
The story follows a horse, taken from his boy owner Albert and pressed into service in the trenches. The horse ends up serving on both sides, while his owner sets out to find him.
