Ashleigh Cheadle

Based on Michael Morpurgo's novel and adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, War Horse takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France.

In a woodland glade, an exhausted mythical creature is suffering from insomnia. When a small, verbose forest sprite appears and offers a sedative, it sounds like a perfect solution but the fatigued Wickywock is too impatient to heed the Sprite’s terms.
