With 'War Horse' on stage, however, we were so engaged with the story throughout. For me, the images that were projected like a floating cloud above the action on stage and were based on the sketches of an artist Captain James Nicholls, a character in the play, enhanced rather than detracted from the story.

A play might be different though as the audience are required to use their imagination to some extent and therefore become engaged in the story as they do when reading. <br /><br />Watching a film or TV adaptation seems much more passive.
