War Horse Showing at the New London Theatre Currently showing at the New London Theatre, War Horse takes audiences on an unforgettable journey into an overlooked chapter of the First World War. Actors, working with astonishing life-sized puppets, tell a tale of bravery, loyalty and the unspoken bond between a young farm hand ‘Albert’ and his horse ‘Joey’. When Joey is sold to the British cavalry at the outbreak of fighting, Albert enlists and sets out to bring his friend home. |
