Shocking an entire town, 17-year old Alan Strang has committed an unspeakable act to the horses in his care, horses he worships as gods. Our heroic figure is Dysart, the overworked but brilliant psychiatrist brought in to probe and heal Alan’s psyche. As Alan’s treatment unfolds, Dysart begins a serious introspection of his own life that has him questioning whether “curing” Alan will deaden his underlying passion and ultimately destroy his spirit. Personal belief vies with societal expectation, and religion and ritual sacrifice feature in Equus, as Shaffer offers a fictional explanation for a disturbingly true crime. Winner of the 1975 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1975 Drama Desk for Outstanding New Foreign Play (England). ADULT THEMES.
