WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths star in Peter Shaffer's Equus. Thea Sharrock directs.
In Equus, psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Griffiths) investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by a mild-mannered stable boy, Alan Strange (Radcliffe), whose home life is filled with bigotry and religious fervor. As Dysart reveals the mysteries behind the boy's demons, he realizes he is confronting his own.
Equus offers $31.50 student rush tickets. Students must show valid student ID and are limited to two tickets per person subject to availability for every performance except Saturday evening. Student rush tickets will be available on those days when the box office opens at 10 a.m. (noon on Sundays).

It's extraordinarily well-acted by Tony-Award winner Richard Griffiths as the troubled psychiatrist Martin Dysart and stage novice Daniel Radcliffe as the even more troubled 17-year-old Alan Strang, who has been institutionalized after putting out the eyes of six horses in the stable where he works.
