Equus

Thursday 7 June 7.30pm.

London Classic Theatre present
EQUUS
by Peter Shaffer

 
In a Hampshire stable, a youth blinds six horses with a metal spike.

Convicted of this appalling crime, seventeen-year-old Alan Strang is sent to a secure psychiatric hospital.  Martin Dysart, the child psychiatrist assigned to him, begins to probe Alan’s past in an attempt to understand his motives.  Initially the boy is silent and uncooperative, but as Dysart digs deeper, he begins to win Alan’s trust and the truth gradually emerges.  Finally, as Alan struggles to be free of his demons, he must relive the events of that terrible night.

Inspired by a true story, Peter Shaffer's unique psychological thriller explores the complex relationships between worship, myth and sexuality. 

Equus was originally staged in 1973 at the Royal National Theatre, London.  In 1977, a film adaptation of the play was released starring Richard Burton and Peter Firth.  In 2007, the play was revived in the West End for the first time since its première, in a critically-acclaimed production starring Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths.

Peter Shaffer was born in 1926. His award-winning plays include The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1964), Black Comedy (1965) and Amadeus (1979).  Equus won the Tony Award and New York Critics Circle Award for Best New Play in 1977.
