... that while preparing for War Horse theatre set designer Rae Smith spent weeks pretending to be a First World War British Army captain? Source: "For an actor to spend weeks immersing themselves in a character is not unusual. For a set designer to do so is extraordinary. But that is just how Rae Smith prepared for War Horse, the award-winning hit play based on the novel by the former children's laureate Michael Morpurgo, which follows a young soldier and his horse across the battlefields of the First World War. With more than 200 sold-out performances at the National Theatre, the production is about to move to London's West End. 'I spent weeks pretending to be a First World War captain,' Smith explains." from: Harries, Rhiannon (22 March 2009). "Close-up: Rae Smith". The Independent. Retrieved 18 December 2021.
