Overview

The latest in the 'National Theatre at Work' series follows the production of War Horse, a play adaptation of the celebrated novel by the children's Laureate (2003-05) Michael Morpurgo. Working with life-sized puppets, the actors take the audience on a gripping journey through history as they tell this deeply moving story about friendship in World War I. From early concept workshops to one of the most beguiling and original plays for younger people ever staged at the Olivier, The Horse's Mouth is a fascinating behind-the-scenes story of how this acclaimed and highly technical piece of theatre was achieved.
