WAR HORSE

PUPPETEER & ASSOCIATE PUPPETRY DIRECTOR

National Theatre, 2007
West End, 2009

“Transcendent puppeteering.”
THE OBSERVER

“The puppetry is nothing short of miraculous. The creature is manipulated with wondrous precision and delicacy.”
THE TIMES

“How delightful to see a single horse act more than 20 performers off the stage!
Craig Leo, Tommy Luther and Toby Olié whinny, stamp, rear up and back off to the manner born.”
EVENING STANDARD

“Astonishingly lifelike puppets, whose movements and sounds are so meticulously caught by their operatives, that they can withstand the weight of emotion played upon them.”
THE TELEGRAPH

“Joey is brought to life by puppeteers, their skill is something special and on opening night it was rewarded with a spontaneous burst of applause at Joey’s first big moment.
It is an astonishingly complete performance.”
