Broadway Across Canada Brings War Horse to Edmonton

A heart-warming, epic tale of loyalty and friendship, the Tony Award® winning production War Horse is coming to the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium from September 17-22, 2013. The scene is set in England in 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But, even though time has passed, Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and around the world. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that bring to life breathing, galloping, and charging horses strong enough for men to ride.
