The 2.5-hour show based on Michael Morpurgo’s 'War Horse' novel combines a performance by life-size puppets with impressive choreography and evocative folk music. Watch the heroic adventures of the beloved war horse on stage and follow his journey from the peaceful Devon hills to the bloody trenches and battlefields of the First World War.

Telling the story of Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse novel and the subsequent movie adaptation by Steven Spielberg, the acclaimed play combines familiar and heartrending tales from the plot with life-size puppets and impressive choreography. Follow the life journey of Joey the horse on stage, and see his transformation from plough horse to war horse when he helped serve WWI soldiers in battle.

Adapted for the stage by the renowned British playwright Nick Stafford, the production features soul-stirring music plus choreography designed for the war horse puppet and other large puppets on stage. Watch galloping horses charging across the set and see the dramas of the battlefields brought to life in front of you.
