War Horse comes to V Queen Elizabeth theatre for a limited engagement September 24 - 29, 2013.
"The National Theatre of Great Britain’s epic War Horse, winner of five 2011 Tony® Awards including Best Play, will make its premiere in Vancouver September 24-29, 2013 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 22 and are available by calling 1 855 985 5000 or online at Ticketmaster. For groups of 10 or more call 1 800 889 8457.

War Horse is the powerful story of young Albert’s beloved horse Joey who has been enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. Joey is caught in enemy crossfire and ends up serving both sides of the war before landing in no man’s land. Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. What follows is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty, and friendship, filled with stirring music and songs and told with the some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time.

The tour of War Horse, which was adapted from the book by Morpurgo by Nick Stafford, is directed by Bijan Sheibani based on the original Tony® Award-winning direction by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, and presented in association with Handspring Puppet Company. At the heart of the show are life-sized puppets which bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

War Horse received its World Premiere in a limited engagement at the National’s Olivier Theatre in 2007. The play returned to the National Theatre for a second run playing from in 2008-2009 before transferring to the West End’s New London Theatre in Spring 2009 where it continues to play an open-ended run. War Horse has been seen by over four million people worldwide and is currently playing in London’s West End, in Australia and on the North American Tour. This autumn, a German version of the play entitled Gefahrten opens in Berlin and War Horse begins a major tour of the UK and Ireland."
