West Coast Premiere of the Powerful Drama Opens Friday, June 29
The
National Theatre production of “War Horse” begins performances
Thursday, June 14 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson
Theatre. Performances for the powerful drama will continue through July
29, 2012. Opening is set for June 29.
The National Theatre’s epic “War Horse” is the winner of five 2011 Tony® Awards including
Best Play. Michael Morpurgo’s novel “War Horse” is also the
inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s feature film of the same name, which
has garnered six Oscar nominations including Best Picture.
Hailed
by The New York Times as “theatrical magic,” “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. In a tale the New
York Daily News calls “spellbinding, by turns epic and
intimate,” 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.
