England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and around the world. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.

War Horse will run from September 24th to September 29th, 2013 in Vancouver, Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:000pm with Thursday, Saturday and Sunday 2:00pm matinees. Tickets will go on sale on Monday, July 22, 2013 and prices range based on the performance and seat location but they start at $35 plus fees and applicable taxes.
