War Horse |
New York |
The spectacular play from London, that has now won 5 Tony Awards on Broadway including best play and best director, is slated to become a Steven Spielberg film.
War
Horse is the story of an English boy whose beloved horse is
sold to the cavalry and shipped to France during WW I. Years later
the boy, now a young man, embarks on an odyssey to bring him home.
There are breathing, galloping, charging horses on the stage --
their flanks, hides and sinews built of steel, leather and
aircraft cables -- life-size puppets strong enough for men to
ride. And that's just one element of this imaginative epic.
