Warhorse

Based on a book by Michael Morpurgo, Warhorse is one of the most stunning shows on in London at the moment. It tells the story of a loved horse called Joey that is sold to the calvary in World War One and his owners battle to find him and bring him home. The show features life size wooden puppets that are controlled by three actors per horse. The characterisation  of each horse is amazing, capturing the movement and nature of the animals as if there were real horses on stage. Warhorse is currently showing at the National Theatre.
