A heart-warming tale of loyalty and friendship, and winner of five 2011 Tony Awards®, War Horse is the story of young Albert and his beloved horse, Joey. When Joey is sold to the British cavalry in World War I, he is caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. Astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company bring to life the breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.
