Horse Play

Did you love War Horse, the 2012, Steven Spielberg flick about a war horse, but found yourself wishing the horse looked a little less like a horse? If so — and boy, can we relate — head over to the Cedar Lee this evening for the National Theater’s stage version of War Horse, which debuted in 2007 to rave reviews. Onscreen, you’ll see horse puppets — not real horses, don’t worry — created and operated by the Handspring Puppett Company of South Africa. (We joke, but it’s supposed to be breathtaking). Lots of song and dance and Broadway hullabaloo, but ultimately a beautiful WWI story, no matter where or what form it takes. The performance screens at 7 p.m. this evening. Tickets are $20. (Allard)
