‘It sometimes felt as though time had stood still down on the farm, the old Fordson tractor quietly rusting away at the back of the barn, Grandpa tending his chickens, that is, until the summer his grandson came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like when he was a boy’
Michael Morpurgo’s compelling sequel continues the story of Joey (War Horse) and a long-kept secret Grandpa has never shared.
This family-friendly show weaves drama, storytelling, and original music into a heartfelt tale about the changing English countryside. A beautifully crafted reminder of how stories connect generations.
Based on the novel by prolific children’s author Michael Morpurgo (War Horse), these performances follow a successful UK tour and a critically acclaimed run in New York.
