War Horse, adapted by Nick Stafford and originally directed by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, has become the most successful play in the history of the National Theatre, winning more than 25 major awards and has been seen by over 8.3 million people worldwide. This new tour is co-produced with Michael Harrison, Fiery Angel, and Playing Field.

War Horse tells the ‘remarkable’ story of a young boy called Albert and his horse Joey, set against the backdrop of the First World War. This moving and imaginative drama is filled with stirring music and songs, featuring ‘ground-breaking’ puppetry work by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, which brings breathing, galloping, charging, horses to thrilling life on stage.

The show has inspired a generation of theatre-makers since its premiere in 2007.
