The award-winning smash hit War Horse is now playing at the New London Theatre.

'***** Genius isn't too strong a word to describe this astonishing production.' - Daily Telegraph

'***** Be sure not to miss this stunning show.' The Times

War Horse is a thrilling and spectacular production based on the celebrated novel by Michael Morpurgo.

The First World War is the backdrop for this tale of bravery, loyalty, and the extraordinary bond between a young recruit and his horse.

Actors, working with astonishing life-sized puppets by the internationally renowned Handspring Puppet Company, take audiences on an unforgettable journey through history.

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.

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

Actors, working with astonishing, life-sized puppets, lead us on this emotionally-charged journey through history.

Winner of Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards.
