The Show
At the outbreak of World War One, 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 odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land.

Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.

The National's epic is based on War Horse, the celebrated novel by the Children's Laureate (2003-05) Michael Morpurgo .

Actors working with magnificent, life-sized puppets by the internationally renowned Handspring Puppet Company lead us on a gripping journey through history.

"Ivvocative and skilled"

"Fantastic...my second time seeing it. Took my Mum this time. Simple yet so affective in lighting, scenes and props......perfectly performed and highly imaginative. The horses were amazing and thier body languadge was awe inspiring. Well worth the effort in traveling and time to see. Thank you for showing me such thought and care as I am wheelchair bound just now."
