Rae Smith, the Olivier award-winning designer of War Horse, unveiled a 25-metre-long art installation at The Lowry last week as part of a First World War Commemoration Event for families.
Commissioned by The Lowry, War Horse Panorama incorporates sketches drawn by Smith over a seven-year period for the National Theatre production and an accompanying illustrated book.
It is designed to trigger people’s memories, not of the tale itself, but the experience of watching the acclaimed theatre production or reading the original Michael Morpurgo novel.
War Horse runs at The Lowry until September 20.
