Equus chronicles the disturbing details of a young man who by all accounts seems to be a normal teenager with a passion for horses. But on the inside, he harbors something very dark. Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This powerful, controversial play was an international success and reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. Equus is a Tony award winning drama that raises thought-provoking issues and will leave the audience deep in thought even after the production has ended. Recommended for mature audiences due to nudity, profanity and adult content. Parental discretion is advised for children under 13. Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.?
