Once again, Thea Sharrock will direct Equus for the Broadway stage as she had done for the London stage. John Napier will design the set and costumes. David Hersey will set the lights; and Gregory Clarke will be in charge of the sound.

The article mentions Radcliffe’s debut as Alan Strang in the West End production of Equus on February 27, 2007, as well as his positive reviews and the gossip about his nude scene. Also, it quotes the press note for the play:

“psychiatrist Martin Dysart investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by an unassuming 17-year-old stable boy, Alan Strang, whose family life is rife with bigotry and religious fervor. As Dysart exposes the truths behind the boy's demons, he finds himself face-to-face with his own."

Equus was based on a true story told to Sir Peter Shaffer by a friend. The play originally opened on Broadway in October 1974 at the Plymouth Theatre. It was directed by John Dexter and won the 1975 Tony for Best Play. This upcoming production with Daniel Radcliffe will be the show’s first Broadway revival. It is produced by The Shubert Organization, Elizabeth Ireland McCann, Roger Berlind, John Gore, Hirschfeld Productions, Bill Kenwright, Emily Fisher Landau, Arielle Tepper Madover, Chase Mishkin, and Spring Sirkin.

Sir Peter Shaffer also wrote Amadeus, Lettice and Lovage, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, and White Liars & Black Comedy.

Equus will be shown at The Broadhurst Theatre in Manhattan at 235 East 44th Street. Tickets are $61.50 - $116.50. They are available by calling 212-239-6200 or click here ( http://www.telecharge.com/behindTheCurtain.aspx ).
