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 journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
On Thursday 14th June 2018, 100 years to the day after a British successful midnight attack north of Bethune along La Bassee Canal, on the Western Front, Longridge Circle, with some friends, went to The Lowry Theatre in Salford Quays to see the superb production of "WARHORSE".
Some of the Longridge contingent enjoying a fabulous play.
STRENGTHENING FRIENDSHIPS HAVING FUN!!!
