London Classic Theatre present Equus
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.
““…taut, flawless and
compelling...” – The Stage
Inspired by a true story, Peter Shaffer’s unique psychological
thriller explores the complex relationships between worship, myth
and sexuality.
