War Horse San Francisco | Curran Theatre

Theatre fans are excited for the trans-Atlantic mounting of ‘War Horse’, the stage adaptation of the classic and heartwarming novel by Michael Morpungo, especially after its highly raved London premiere, making it Britain’s most anticipated acclaimed theatrical export to hit American soil and the bay area shores. It is coming to the Curran Theatre in San Francisco from August 1 to 26, 2012.

‘War Horse’ is an “epic and intimate” (Sunday Express) story about a young man named Albert and his horse, Joey, who was brought to France from the cavalry and became involved in the crossfire of World War I till it ended up in a deserted land. Young Albert then embarks on a dangerous journey, too dangerous for his age, to find and save his horse and bring it home. The Times of London call it a “sweeping drama of extraordinary power. Its sheer skill and invention are simply awe-inspiring.” Critics not only praise its amazing story-telling, songs and scores, but also its life-size and life like horse puppets, which has earned the production accolades and nods from various theatre award circles, especially the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards and the Tony Awards.
