Labruzzo triumph of love, fidelity, courage and dignity over life’s unpredictable Jennifer Altfeld Landau challenges. Carol Mancino Antonio Manning Dale S. Miller Morpurgo offers insight into the primary factors that drove him to Walter Mirisch write the book. He speaks of “a particular state of mind” that sparked Jo Muse his creative impulse, “I’m a war baby, born in 1943. My early growing Edward B. Nahmias up occurred after the second World War, among bomb sites. But my Edward L. Rada first realization of what war did came from the grown-ups around Bill Resnick me—my family—who had lived through this trauma of the second Michael Ritchie World War. My Uncle Peter was shot down in a plane at age 21. My Laura Rosenwald Eva Stern mother, his sister, never got over that. We tend to count the suffering Louise Taper of war in terms of the number of people who have been killed, but Sue Tsao what I learned very young is a lasting grief, which goes on through one Rosalind Zane generation into the next. So I suppose you could say I was sensitized to the suffering of war.” †Deceased He cites three other incidents influencing his inspiration. The first one was meeting a World War I veteran at the local pub in his home town, the village of Iddesleigh in Devon. The gentleman beguiled Morpurgo with recollections from the war, also describing the strong relationship and trust he shared with his horse while at war. Another influence was Morpurgo’s uncanny experience of watching a seriously disturbed young boy who was unable to communicate lose all inhibitions, Please silence all electronic devices such as cellular phones, abruptly speaking flawlessly while bonding with a horse. In turn, the beepers and watches. The use of any recording device, either audio or video, and the taking of photographs, either with or animal appeared to be determinedly protective of the boy.

P4 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE Michael Morpurgo (continued from page 2) was an old painting in Murpurgo’s home in which a cavalry of soldiers on horses charged into a barricade of barbed wire.

He continues, “I thought it would perhaps be an interesting idea to write a story of the first World War that wasn’t told from one side or the other. Wouldn’t it be an interesting notion to tell the story about the universal suffering in that war due to the 10 million who died on all sides—German, American, English Scottish, French, Russians—telling it how it was, but through the eyes of a horse.”

Morpurgo says that for nearly 25 years after its debut, very few people had read his book and he had no expectations that it would be developed for another medium, though he had made one unsuccessful attempt to draft a screenplay. “I couldn’t have talking horses,” he remarks. So he was surprised when the National Theatre in London called him to say that one of their directors had read the book, and they had been looking for a project they could develop with Handspring Puppets.

“I told them I thought this was a rather ridiculous notion,” he admits. But they persuaded Morpurgo to come to see their l to r: Michael Morpurgo and David Emmings at Sandown Park. work. He did and was immediately convinced their concept would work. He elaborates, “The show went on for two years, It’s difficult if authors of an original story cling to it. You have and you couldn’t get a ticket in London, then it moved to the to let the genius of the adapters flow. That’s the advice I was West End, and you couldn’t get a ticket there.” Next Kathleen always given early on in my career. People at the National Kennedy, who produces Steven Spielberg’s films, came to see Theatre tell this story in a way that is iconic. And Spielberg, the West End production, simply because her daughter loves who is probably our greatest cinematic storyteller—certainly horses. Morpurgo states, “First thing she did afterward was in my lifetime—brings his mastery to the whole thing. So I’m ring Spielberg and say, ‘You’ve got to see this.’ He did, and very blessed.” within a year, his movie was made.” Morpurgo continues, “What’s important at the end of the day How did the creators of the film and stage versions shift the is that the spirit of the book is there, and it is, in both cases. point of view from first-hand narration by the horse to other There are differences between them, no question. Some storytelling devices? “They made all the right decisions,” says people find the epic quality and the grandeur of Steven’s film, Morpurgo. “The people who tell the story are the people who with that John Williams score, extraordinarily moving. And meet the horse—at the countryside in England, where the when some people go to see it, they don’t stop crying from horse is born and comes from, and the Germans who capture beginning to end, due to the fragility of this creature—this it and befriend it, and the friendly people who look after it from little horse who grows into a bigger horse. What both film time to time. We see the story through all of them.” and play manage to do so deeply and profoundly is relating a story of this friendship, reminding us about what is best What about changes in the plot? Morpurgo responds, “The about ourselves. It’s also a story of hope and the will to first part is really very similar. In the book, there’s a story of survive.” a German character Friedrich and his relationship with the horse and the way he looks after him, saving the horse on A special treat for Morpurgo, who says he feels a tremendous numerous occasions. The story was altered in the film, where kinship with the casts and crew members who he got to Spielberg developed it rather wonderfully. In the play, it is know during his visits, has been appearing in a walk-on also developed wonderfully. They had to take the skeleton role in some stage performances and in the film. He hopes of my story and make of it what they will. This is what to continue his stage career by coming to L.A. from his Shakespeare did. He hardly invented a story in his life. What home in the UK during the Ahmanson run and then going he did, selectively, was to find ways of telling stories that to San Francisco, the next tour stop. This enthusiastic would be powerful on stage. And that’s what the National novice thespian proudly offers a letter-perfect preview of his Theatre did, and Spielberg did for the film, both to huge dialogue in an auction-bidding scene: “Fifteen guineas.” ● effect.
