Default War Horse

Just to add some further comment, I was fortunate to see the show in London a few months ago.

I can thoroughly recommend it to anybody, cannot say anything about the film, have not seen it, but the stage production is truly magnificent.

We could not take our eyes off the horses, and it was easy to forget that there were three people operating the "puppet".
Puppet is not the word, an engineering marvel, as my son used to be a drama student, he knew some of those in the cast, and we were fortunate to be able to go backstage after.

The story behind the story, it was written as a childrens book, is very moving.

To recap, the book was written after an encounter with a young boy who had had a very troubled upbringing, and as part of his re habilitation, was sent to a farm.
This boy had never spoken a word to anyone "ever" after what must have been a terrible ordeal.
One night, the person in charge was doing his rounds, and found the young boy talking to a horse, absolutely pouring his heart out.
A very moving story.


Please please please, see the show if you possibly can.

Sorry to go on, but my wife and I were very moved during the show.

George.
