Location: Liverpool Empire Theatre, Liverpool, England
With the Remembrance Day services having taken place last weekend, and with next year marking 100 years since the end of World War One, it seems like a fitting time for War Horse to come to the Liverpool Empire. Since the show's inception, War Horse (a stage adaptation of the 1982 book, with the West End incarnation inspiring the movie, released in 2011) has gained a reputation for being one of the most compelling and emotional stage shows ever performed, and so there was a great deal of anticipation for its current run in Liverpool.
Fortunately, I can confirm that the show, which is based on a true story, is superb. Of course, it helps to have either seen the film or read the book, or at least to have some knowledge about the atrocities of the First World War to provide context. But even those approaching this show cold will appreciate the touching story, the incredible performances and the first-class production values which all come together to deliver a fantastic theatre experience.
