AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
War Horse is a collaboration between the National Theatre and Handspring Puppet Company that has now been seen across the globe. To date the show has been seen on Broadway, Canada, Across Australia, on tour across the USA, in Berlin, in the Netherlands, and most recently in South Africa.
WHAT IS WAR HORSE ABOUT?Set against the turbulent times of the First World War, War Horse is the story of a boy (Albert) and his horse (Joey). It is a relationship that will see one follow the other into the depths of no-mans land in an attempt to bring his horse home safely.
