http://www.ted.com "Puppets always have to try to be alive," says Adrian Kohler of the Handspring Puppet Company, a gloriously ambitious troupe of human and wooden actors. Beginning with the tale of a hyena's subtle paw, puppeteers Kohler and Basil Jones build to the story of their latest astonishment: the wonderfully life-like Joey, the War Horse, who trots (and gallops) convincingly onto the TED stage.

just saw the show a few days ago, mindBLOWING puppetry but i have to admit i found the play as disappointingly boring as the movie was, the story alone just seemed really weak, and nothing seemed to be a greater metaphor for anything, like the era or the society etc. plus i dont know if it was an off night or what but the acoustics of the voices were pretty terrible compared to most theatres in london iv been to and the lead boy didnt seem to be acting so much as earnestly shouting his lines...

Ahhh I went to see War Horse when it first came out in the theatre - nee to see it again, the puppetry is astounding. I loved the book as a child and so it is so special!
