WAR HORSE is the powerful story of young Albert's beloved horse, Joey, who has been enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship, filled with stirring music and songs and told with the some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time.

At the heart of WAR HORSE are astonishing life-sized puppets created by SouthAfrica's Handspring Puppet Company that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.
