The National Theatre’s acclaimed production returns in an all-new UK and Ireland tour. War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical experience which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
Due to scheduling issues, the decision has been taken by the producers of War Horse and Wales Millennium Centre to cancel the following performances: 14 and 20 October. Extra performances have been added at 2.30pm on 19 and 22 October. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
A TRIUMPH OF THEATRICALITY
At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.
Mae cynhyrchiad llwyddiannus y National Theatre yn dychwelyd mewn taith newydd sbon o’r DU ac Iwerddon. Mae War Horse yn brofiad theatraidd bythgofiadwy sy’n mynd â chynulleidfaoedd ar daith arbennig o gaeau gwledig Dyfnaint i ffosydd Ffrainc yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Yn seiliedig ar y nofel boblogaidd gan Michael Morpurgo, mae’r ddrama emosiynol a dychmygus yma, sy’n llawn cerddoriaeth a chaneuon cynhyrfus, yn sioe o ddyfeisgarwch rhyfeddol. Wrth ei gwraidd mae ceffylau maint go iawn syfrdanol gan Handspring Puppet Company o Dde Affrica, sy’n dod â cheffylau sy’n anadlu, yn carlamu ac yn rhuthro yn fyw ar y llwyfan.
Oherwydd problemau amserlennu, mae cynhyrchwyr War Horse a Chanolfan Mileniwm Cymru wedi penderfynu canslo’r perfformiadau canlynol: 14 a 20 Hydref. Mae perfformiadau newydd wedi cael eu hychwanegu am 2.30pm ar 19 a 22 Hydref. Ymddiheurwn am unrhyw anghyfleustra y bydd hyn yn ei achosi.
A TRIUMPH OF THEATRICALITY
Ar ddechrau’r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, caiff Joey, ceffyl annwyl Albert, ei werthu i’r Gwŷr Meirch a’i anfon i Ffrainc. Yn fuan caiff ei ddal mewn ymosodiad gan y gelyn, ac mae ffawd yn mynd ag ef ar daith eithriadol, gan wasanaethu ar y ddau ochr cyn ffeindio ei hun yn Nhir Neb ar ei ben ei hun. Dyw Albert, a arhosodd ar fferm ei rieni yn Nyfnaint, methu anghofio Joey. Er nad yw’n ddigon hen i ymrestru, mae’n mynd ar berwyl peryglus i ddod o hyd i Joey a dod ag ef adref.
