War Horse

War Horse at Princess of Wales Theatre

Why see War Horse?

England, 1914. As World War I begins, 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 journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, though not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home.

This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a production of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on the stage.

Sylvia

Sensational play for the family

I saw this play in London with my 3 children (two teenagers and a 10 year old). We absolutely loved it. The story is something everyone can identify with even if you're not a horse person (I'm certainly not). The horses are incredible, the acting superb, the costumes perfect. We were mesmerized and can't wait to see it in Toronto! ... Read more
