Michael Morpurgo’s novel,
War Horse, is also the inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s feature film of
the same name, which earned six Oscar nominations including Best
Picture.
Hailed by The New York
Times as “theatrical magic,” WAR HORSE is the powerful story of young
Albert’s beloved horse, Joey, who has been enlisted to fight for the English in
World War I. In a tale the New York Daily News calls “spellbinding, by
turns epic and intimate,” Joey is caught in enemy crossfire and ends up serving
both sides of the war before landing in no man’s land. Albert, not old enough to
enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home.
What follows is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship, filled
with stirring music and songs and told with the some of the most innovative
stagecraft of our time.
The tour of WAR
HORSE, based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo and adapted by
Nick Stafford, will be directed by Bijan
Sheibani based on the original Tony® Award-winning
direction by
Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, and presented in association with
Handspring Puppet Company. At the heart of the show are life-sized puppets which
bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on
stage.
In addition to Best Play,
WAR HORSE received Tony® Awards for Best Direction of a
Play (Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris), Best Scenic Design of a
Play (Rae Smith), Best Lighting Design of a Play (Paule
Constable), and Best Sound Design of a Play (Christopher Shutt). A
Special Tony Award was given to Handspring Puppet Company for their integral
work on the production.
The tour will rehearse and
preview at Boise State University’s Morrison Center in Idaho before beginning
performances at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, June 14 - July 29, 2012.
After the Los Angeles engagement, the North American tour will visit San
Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, Durham, Boston, Washington DC, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, East Lansing, Des Moines, Chicago, Costa Mesa, Tempe, Seattle,
Portland, Spokane, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale,
