Personal stories intertwine with epic set pieces and mind-boggling puppetry in War Horse, the 2007 stage adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's novel, which went on to win multiple honours at the 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Play. In the years leading up to World War I, young Albert Narracott is tasked with raising Joey, a feisty colt bought impulsively by Albert's father. Boy and horse soon forge an unbreakable bond, but fate and the British military conspire to keep them apart. When “The War to End All Wars” begins, Joey is conscripted to be the mount of Captain Nicholls of the British cavalry, setting off a tragic, bittersweet chain of events that finds him serving for both the Allies and the Axis, then finally surviving alone in no man’s land. Though too young to join up legally, Albert contrives to rescue his friend, and together, though separately, the two endure hellish battlegrounds, thundering lead storms, and a sojourn through enemy lands. Toronto Star reviewer Richard Ouzounian lavished the human cast with praise, saying that “the level of commitment and talent is almost blinding,” yet the star of the show is Joey. At the hands of three master puppeteers, the dynamic, fluid, beautifully crafted steed moves with lifelike mannerisms, rearing up, galloping, and carrying soldiers through smoke and battle scenes. His mane and tail flopping with every step, Joey forms the emotional core of the story as he makes the dazzling transformation from foal to awkward teenage horse with a taste for death metal to graceful stallion.

The Groupon Guide to: Phone Greetings

Any boring person with a tongue in their face can pick up the phone and say “hello.” Here are some creative ways to answer your phone:

  • "Hi, who is this? No, don’t tell me! I want to have a confusing conversation."

  • "Hello, you’ve reached the Walking and Talking hotline. I just got a brand-new mobile phone, so I’ll be moving around my house and going to the bathroom while I talk to you."

  • "Gavin sucks! Just kidding, Gavin, you don’t suck. Oh, this is Gavin’s mom? Oh, I’m so sorry, Mrs. Gavin. I’ll go get my mom."

  • "Hello, Culver household. Margaret speaking. Edmond listening. Children not listening but tucked snugly in their beds. Fear hiding quietly under the floorboards."

  • "Hey there! Thanks for calling! I’m busy, so call back and leave a message."

  • "Hey there! Oh gosh darn it, you were trying to leave that message, weren’t you? OK, here we go again."

  • "Hey there! OH, SHOOT! OH, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT!"

What’s with Gavin’s voice?
