War Horse tickets
About War Horse
At the outbreak of the First World War, young Albert’s beloved horse Joey is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. Too young to enlist, Albert refuses to forget
him, embarking on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of wartime France – determined to bring Joey home.
Based on Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel, War Horse is the timeless story of love, courage and friendship. Following a sold-out national tour, the Tony Award-winning global sensation returns to where it all began, nearly two decades after its debut at the National Theatre.
For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.
