Strider

Tolstoys story of life seen through the eyes of Strider a piebald horse has been brilliantly and magically adapted to the stage and it makes Strider seem both equine and thoughtfully human. Despite his maverick coat Strider is a thoroughbred and a champion. He tells his story to the other horses in the stable it is one of unexpected triumph and undeserved despair running much the same as his masters a dissolute prince.
