The global phenomenon WAR HORSE gallops home to the National Theatre, at the Olivier Theatre.
Based on Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel, WAR HORSE is a timeless story of love, courage and friendship, brought to life by astonishing life-sized horses from Handspring Puppet Company and a stirring musical score.
Following a sell-out national tour, the Tony Award–winning global sensation returns to where it all began, nearly two decades after its debut at the National Theatre.
