As World War I begins, Albert's horse Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent to France. Unable to forget Joey, Albert sets off on a journey to find him.
War Horse on Broadway Background
A long-running hit at London's National Theatre and on the West End, the epic production War Horse finally comes to Broadway for a run at the Lincoln Center Theater. This moving WWI-set story of a boy's search for his beloved horse features amazing puppetry and set design.
Aside from its intriguing glimpse into the cavalry as it had its last gasp in the heavily mechanized First World War, War Horse's most distinguishing feature is its use of large, multi-person operated puppets that bring the horses to life onstage. Beautifully designed by Handspring Puppet Company, these human-puppet hybrids are remarkable characters in their own right and are vital in making us care about the animals and the relationships forged between them and the humans that encounter them.
What's War Horse Like?
War Horse is almost like two separate plays. The first is a sweet tale of boy meets horse, boy falls in love with horse, boy faces losing horse - you've seen many similar stories in film and literature, and it is both touching and family-friendly. The second is a fascinating war story that shows the horrors of World War I and how it senselessly devoured young men and animals alike - it is also very moving, but also frequently terrifying and not suitable for young children.
Is War Horse Good for Kids?
May be inappropriate for 7 and under. Children under the age of 5 are not permitted in the theatre.
