7:15 Friday 11/3/2016 BBC Radio 4 (Four!) Front Row

Includes Music of War Horse

Joey will gallop around the West End stage for the last time when War Horse ends, after 7 years, tomorrow night. The extraordinary puppetry has attracted a lot of attention, but crucial to the play's success has been the music.

This draws on folk song, which melds with classical orchestration. Director Tom Morris, and song-maker John Tams explain their approach, and Tim van Eyken, who was the original Songman in the National Theatre's production, plays and sings live in the Front Row studio.

This is a good thing of course, as the production will now tour the country so the rest of us can see it.
