The acclaimed National Theatre production, which premiered in 2007, has been seen by nearly 9 million people worldwide and is the winner of more than 25 major awards, including the Tony Award for ‘Best Play’.

Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, War Horse is a powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

At the outbreak of World War I, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.
