At the outbreak of World War One, 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 odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land. Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.

The National's epic is based on War Horse, the celebrated novel by the Children's Laureate (2003-05) Michael Morpurgo . Actors working with magnificent, life-sized puppets by the internationally renowned Handspring Puppet Company lead us on a gripping journey through history.

Following two sold-out seasons at the National Theatre, War Horse will play at the New London Theatre from 28 March 2009. Tickets for the West End run of this phenomenal production are now on sale, so book now to secure your tickets.

Suitable for 10yrs+

Presented by the National Theatre and National Angels.
