This book analyses the success and adaptation of Michael Morpurgorsquo;s novel War Horse to stage; radio; live events; and feature film; in different cultures; on tours; and in translation. In under a decade; War Horse has gone from obscure childrenrsquo;s novel to arguably one of the worldrsquo;s most recognisable theatrical brands; thanks to innovative puppet designs from South Africarsquo;s Handspring Puppet Company in an acclaimed stage production from the National Theatre of Great Britain. With emphasis on embodied spectatorship; collaborative meaning-making; and imaginative lsquo;play;rsquo; this book generates fresh insights into the enduring popularity of the franchisersquo;s eponymous protagonist; Joey; offering the most in-depth study of War Horse to date.
