NATIONAL theatre sensation War Horse will be galloping back to Liverpool next year.
Michael Morpurgo’s remarkable story of courage, loyalty and friendship, about a young boy called Albert and his horse Joey, set against the backdrop of the First World War will be on stage at the Empire from July 31 to August 17.
It features ground-breaking puppetry work by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, which brings breathing, galloping horses to life on stage.
War Horse has now been seen by more than seven million people worldwide and completed its record-breaking eight year London run at the New London Theatre in March 2016.
It has also won 25 awards including the Tony Award for Best Play on Broadway.
Directed by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, the story has been adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford. For tickets visit atgtickets.com/liverpool
