War Horse

A few nights ago we went to War Horse. War Horse was first a book. We had already read the book so we were very excited to watch the play. A few weeks ago we had also seen the movie. Since we were in London for the play, it was no easy task finding the War Horse building. London is a huge city. It is the biggest city in the UK and the second biggest city in Europe. When we finally did see it we knew we were in the right place. On the side of the building was a HUGE picture of a horse. At the top it said War Horse! As we got into our seats it was hard to sit still. We found out they did not use real horses. Instead they use huge puppets. These puppets though do not go on your hand. They are more like huge sculptures. It took three people just for the main horse, Joey. The people in charge of moving them did so well you almost forgot that the people were there. The play had happy, sad, and funny parts. One of the funny parts was a silly goose that chased after people. That was definitely one of the funny parts. The interesting thing is the goose is a great part in the play and in the movie but did not show up in the book. War Horse is one of my favorite plays!
