A wonderful evening enjoying the puppetry. We had side stall tickets and could see everything. We had the actors back towards us sometimes, but did not change the great performance. Would definitely recommend!

Travelled to London to see this show. Whilst the theatre was a little strangely set out, the show was incredible and you very quickly forget the actors are there. A moving and entertaining story, would thoroughly recommend.

The horses come to life- just amazing. The cast and puppeteers are phenomenal. Don't miss this show.

This is an amazing production! As you get caught up in the story one forgets that the life size horses are puppets manned by people. The first half is a little slow but necessary in setting the scene for the rest of the show.

Just so different - and both moving and interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed the story and were most impressed by the horses!

Amazing and thought provoking. There isn't a bad seat in the house for this show, so no excuses for not seeing it :) Loved it!! Nearly as much as Matilda but not quite.

Fanatstic show, proper theater.... Well acted, great story, and the way the show is delivered defies any real explanation. Go and see it, beats the film hands down.

An excellent, moving show. The puppetry was fantastic, to the point that you forgot that the horses weren't real. The goose was great! Would definitely recommend this show to others.
