NT Live: WAR HORSE
Since its first performance at the National Theatre in 2007, War Horse has become an international smash hit, capturing the imagination of four million people around the world.
Based on Michael Morpurgo’s novel and adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, War Horse
takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural
Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Filled with stirring
music and songs, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama is a show
of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-size
puppets by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring
breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
