Featuring complex and lifelike equine puppets, the National Theatre
of Great Britain production of War Horse charges onto
the stage at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater. War Horse
tells the story of a British lad named Albert who sets out on a
harrowing
journey to reclaim his beloved horse, Joey, who was requisitioned into
military service in World War I. Punctuated by recorded and live
music, and
projected animation, the play is based on the youth novel of the same
name.
