In the centenary year of the outbreak of the First World War, see The English National Theatre’s original stage production of War Horse, recorded live from London’s West End. Since its first performance at the National Theatre in 2007, War Horse has become an international smashhit, capturing the imagination of four million people around the world. Based on Michael Morpurgo’s beloved wartime novel, War Horse takes audiences on an  extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Filled with stirring music and songs, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-size puppets who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
