WARHORSE - THE CONCERT - MICHAEL MORPURGO - JOHN TAMS & BARRY COOPE
October, 16 Sat
WarHorse, a reading by one of Britain’s most celebrated authors and former Childrens’ Laureate, MICHAEL MORPURGO, with songs to cradle the story from BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winners, JOHN TAMS and BARRY COOPE. This concert version is a unique opportunity to hear the author tell his own story of Joey and his journey from peaceful Devon to survival through the First World War, from farm horse to WarHorse, a noble animal who never had the human frailty of taking sides.
The stage adaptation played to sold out audiences at the National Theatre, transferred to the West End where it continues to sell out and has recently been bought by Steven Spielberg to be made into a Hollywood movie.
This epic story will take approximately 90mins to tell. True to the war - there will be no interval.
The performance is suitable for children 10 years and above.

Assembly Rooms - Great Hall, Derby.
Concert starts at 7.30pm, doors open
