Farm Boy
Sat 31 May – Sun 1 Jun 2025Visiting his grandpa on the farm, a young boy loves to listen to the stories he tells. These include how, as a boy, his heart was broken when his beloved horse Joey was sent away to fight. Determined that they would stay together, even though he was too young to do so at the time, Grandpa signed up so that he could find his horse.
Grandpa’s stories in ‘Farm Boy’ take the audience back to World War I and the time soon after – including the arrival of the very first tractor and the excitement of an extraordinary ploughing match – but Grandpa also has a secret to share and he needs his grandson’s help to put something right!
Following successful UK tours and a critically acclaimed run in New York, Michael Morpurgo’s compelling sequel to ‘War Horse’ returns to the stage in this delightful, family-friendly show combining drama, storytelling and original music – a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully-crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.
