WAR HORSE
An innovative inventive and incredible ensemble piece whose development and presentation justifies every penny the National Theatre receives. This gem boasts terrific performances in a heart warming tear jerking story. The stars of the show are of course the horses or more to the point the heroes of the production who are absolutely central to the show yet go un-noticed are the puppeters whether the head the heart or hindquarters they breath life and personality in to these fantastically crafted creations.The best new drama I have seen all year. Dont miss it. The producion fits the space beautifully and thankfullythe theatre is air conditioned

THE BEST, MOST INNOVATIVE, MUST-SEE SHOW IN TOWN
Thankfully, this show is gaining in fame and popularity, which is richly deserved. The seats are extremely comfortable and you'd be hard put to find a seat which didn't give you a wonderful, all-round view, so you don't really need to go for the most expensive option. In fact, it's probably better seating from about the 3rd row back and anywhere beyond. The puppets are marvelous - you get so lost in the story you just don't notice the people working them. If you don't believe that, like the majority of the audience when we went, you will be in tears by the end, at the suffering of a mass of wire aka horse, then treat yourself asap. This show is a heartwarming story, tear-jearking and pure enjoyment for all ages. Excellent all round.

FANTASTIC, GO AND SEE THIS SHOW!.
This show is fantastic, the atmosphere, acting and best of all the 'horses' are brilliant, you completely lose yourself into the story, it really touches the heart. Everyone was on their feet at the end giving a standing ovation. The theatre was great, good seats & the stage revolves so everyone gets a good view. I would recommend this show to all adults, and kids of 10yrs+. Go and see.

THEATRICAL FANTASTICAL
Don't be fooled by the description 'puppets in cast' - this is fabulous theatre. War, hate, and unconditional love portrayed beautifully.

My daughter bought tickets to see this moving play for my 80th Birthday. I was a Londoner, who lived through the second world war, also aware of the Great War; I had an Uncle who had lost his leg, returned from France, affected by his experience. Dad was called up as a reserve when World War2 broke out. He chose the RAMC not wanting to kill anyone, was captured trying to bring some wounded men back to Dunkirk and became a POW; I saw him for three days at Christmas 1939 when he told Mum never to split up with me again. We were in the blitz living with my grandmother and other members of my mother's family in London, sleeping in the Anderson Shelter every night. Dad was missing believed killed; Mum kept it from me while doing war secret warwork, obviously stressed. But dad was a POW; his first letter said 'Get out of London.' We did. We were reunited in 1945. This play emphases the sadness of war and I wept, as many did. A brilliant performance adapted from a brilliant Author's book.
