War Horse, which has been seen by over four million people worldwide, makes its Yorkshire debut at the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford from May 26 to June 14.

Adapted from Michael Morpurgo’s best-selling novel, it tells the story of a young boy and his beloved horse, Joey. Yesterday’s photocall in Bradford featured a puppetry demonstration hosted by Jimmy Grimes, resident puppetry director of War Horse in London.
