WINNER! 5 Tony Awards® including Best Play of the year!
Don’t miss the stage sensation which inspired Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film.
War Horse is a remarkable tale of courage, friendship and loyalty.
England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
“This spellbinding show runs full gallop with theatrical magic. It is epic and intimate and compels you to hold your breath in anticipation.” – New York Daily News April 15, 2011
The horses in this amazing piece of theatre are life-size AND life-like: crafted in cane, steel, leather and aircraft cables, by the extraordinary Handspring Puppet Company of South Africa, they embody the fire, spirit and nobility of living, breathing steeds.
You’ve never seen anything quite like War Horse. This epic tale is both highly inventive spectacle and powerfully moving drama, with one of the largest casts assembled on the Ahmanson stage. This odyssey of a boy and his horse took London by storm before opening on Broadway where it won five Tony® Awards including Best Play.
