First performed in 1973, Equus took the performance world by storm and proved to be a sensational triumph in London and New York where it was awarded the Tony Award for Best Play. Seventeen year old Alan Strang is hospitalised after blinding six horses. Under the treatment of psychiatrist Martin Dysart, Alan reveals his story by re-enacting it before us, slowly drawing Dysart into his life until the psychiatrist believes his own life to be devoid of meaning. Dealing with themes from religion and worship to psychiatry and the influence of society, and described by the UK’s Guardian newspaper as ‘sensationally good,’ Equus is a theatrical event which captivates audiences. The cast features young people aged 15 – 18.
