War Horse

Earlier in the fall I had the opportunity to see War Horse, the play, in New York at Lincoln Center. I had a great seat, eighth row center, to see a great story come to life in a production with dazzling production values. It was a great night for theatre. Christmas Day 2011 saw the release of Steven Spielberg’s movie version of War Horse. While I enjoyed the movie (I rarely see movies), I once again realized why I prefer live theatre over film. I always feel distance watching a film. It also doesn’t help that movie-goers tend to be less polite than theatre-goers. Somehow the rustlling of chip bags doesn’t cut it for me. I would definitely recommend the movie - and highly recommend the play. It’s a compelling story in both cases. One that will tug at your emotions, especially if you have an appreciation for animals, family and history.

 

There is also a podcast available in iTunes: War Horse puppet demonstration and Interview.
