　　The play is the toast of the West End and Broadway, which has taken one and  a half year to be adapted into the Chinese version.

　　这出剧在西伦敦和百老汇都受到广泛追捧，用时1年半的时间改编成中文版本

　　The puppet-powered play was based on a best-selling 1982 novel with the  same name. It narrates the story as it happened during the First World War,  through the eyes of a horse.

　　这部剧的导演，李东，分享了这部剧精彩的部分

　　"The producing volume of this play is some 15 times larger than usual  plays. The play is fantastic; sometimes you may even forget that the horse is  being manipulated by people. The most touching part is the emotion between the  horse and its owner, which is interwoven within the storyline. I think this is  what the audience will keep in mind after watching the show. "

　　“这部剧的创作量要大于其他正常剧本的15倍之多，这部剧非常棒，有时你可能已经忘记了这匹战马是被人操纵的，最感人的片段是战马和它主人之间的情感，与故事线相交叉，我想这是观众在观看这部剧之后能保存在记忆里的”
