Plymouth Shopper

Saturday 7th December

£22.00pp coach only

Based upon former Children’s Laureate Michael Morpurgo’s acclaimed novel, Nick Stafford’s play has become an international phenomenon since its premiere at the National Theatre itself in 2007. As this latest production attests, it is worthy of every accolade it has received.

Morpurgo’s intelligent, heartfelt narrative follows the journeys through the war of both Joey, a fine Devonshire horse, and his young master, Albert. The NT’s staging of it is deservedly famous for its extraordinary, life-sized horse puppets. However, the production’s greatest achievement is that its grand theatre technologies (including unusually effective stage projections) always serve, rather than overwhelm, the story.

Morpurgo’s tale, in which Joey is a rare equine survivor of the folly of cavalry charges into barbed wire and machine-gun fire, opens into a German experience of the war which is every bit as brutal and pitiless as that of the British. The pathos and reconciliatory intent of the novel are realised powerfully on a cleverly minimalist set by way of painful ensemble scenes, touching songs (by John Tams) and brilliant moments of horse choreography.
