Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse
The power of stories transcends age and although Michael’s principal readership is young, this classic tale tugs at the heart of everyone who hears it. War Horse is Steven Spielberg’s major film of 2011 and was a stunning National Theatre stage production. It tells the story of a horse that witnessed the carnage of the First World War - and it tells it through the eyes of the horse. Joey survives bombardment, has his riders shot from the saddle and stands his ground even though it quakes with explosions. And, as the guns fall silent over the shattered landscape, the horse survives - to tell what he saw. Join Michael Morpurgo – one of the world’s greatest storytellers - as he brings this immensely powerful, classic tale to life at Lennoxlove.
