War Horse - New London Theatre


It goes without saying that the major attraction of War Horse is its life-sized creation of the horses Joey and Tophorn. Just watching how these huge puppets are maneuvered so gracefully and skillfully throughout the scenes is astonishing. The transformation of little Joey from a small horse into a full grown adult is breath-taking. And all this before you add the stellar performance of the cast.  The drama, the passion and the tension are all perfectly encapsulated in the music and James Backway does an excellent job of portraying the heartfelt emotion of Albert Narracot for his horse. This is definitely one to see again.

War Horse can be seen @ The New London Theatre until March 2016
