This show has received terrific reviews: ""One of the most powerfully moving and imaginative productions of the year, whatever age you happen to be"" (Daily Telegraph); ""it makes you rejoice to be alive"" (The Times); ""confirms the National’s extraordinary knack of turning children’s literature into the finest drama. Stunning."" (Sunday Times) At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
