War Horse, the widely acclaimed stage adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s First World War novel, is scheduled to return to the National Theatre later this year.

Productions are due to coincide with the centenary of Armistice Day (in November) and are set to run from 8 November until 5 January 2019.

War Horse charts what happens to a farm worker and his horse when both are drafted into the army during the First World War. Its innovative stage sets and props have seen it hailed as one of the most innovative shows of the century.
