War Horse - award winning play

I've been anticipating the upcoming feature film of War Horse, directed by Steven Spielberg and couldn't imagine how this novel by Michael Morpurgo would be performed as a play. It won Best Direction, Best Scenic Design and Best Play during tonight's Tony Awards where I got a glimpse of the awesome "puppet" horses used during the play which tells the tale of a horse during WWI.

Dreamworks synopsis:

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war—a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.
