Description

This story the story of making the first show is our record of how uncertain, optimistic, idealistic and na ve we felt back then. It s the spark underneath each new version and each fresh company who bring the fuel and the heat to inspire every production of War Horse. - Mervyn Millar

This second edition of The Horse s Mouth follows the production of War Horse, a play adaptation of Michael Morpurgo s novel, from early concept workshops to one of the most beguiling and original plays ever staged by the National Theatre, the actors working with magnificent,life-sized puppets to take the audience on a gripping journey through history. The Horse s Mouth is a fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of how this acclaimed and highly technical piece of theatre was achieved. In his new Introduction, Mervyn Millar describes how the journey from improbable idea to long-running show has seen our production change.
