This production has been met with critical acclaim — its use of life-size puppets of horses from the Handspring Puppet Company won an Olivier Award, Evening Standard Theatre Award and London Critics’ Circle Theatre Award for design. War Horse has now become the most successful in the National Theatre’s history. On Monday 12th October 2009 the performance of the play was seen by HM Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh making a rare personal visit to the theatre (their first such private visit in four years).
