In July 2012 the puppet makers from the Handspring Puppet Company, creators of the War Horse puppets, visited London to see the show for the first time.

The Puppet Makers

War Horse is a thrilling and spectacular production based on the celebrated novel by Michael Morpurgo. The First World War is the backdrop for this tale of bravery, loyalty, and the extraordinary bond between a young recruit and his horse. Actors, working with astonishing life-sized puppets created by the internationally renowned Handspring Puppet Company, take audiences on an unforgettable journey through history. This collection contains interviews, a backstage video diary from an original cast member, short documentaries and teaching resources.
