Equus in London

Starring:

Toby Stephens

In this 1973 psychological thriller by Peter Shaffer's, supposedly inspired by real-life events in northern England, psychiatrist Dr Martin Dysart is tasked with investigating a shocking and disturbing crime: teenage Alan Strang blinded six horses in what seemed to be a ritual sacrifice, driven by a religious obsession that manifests as sexual attraction to horses. As he delves deeper into the disturbed psyche of his patient, Dysart is forced to confront his own beliefs, purpose, and the true nature of passion.

Originally staged in the 1970s, this gripping, unsettling, and eerie play returns to the London stage in a major new revival, presented in a co-production with Theatre Royal Bath, directed by Lindsay Posner. Winner of multiple awards, Equus is a modern classic — a bold exploration of faith, sexuality, and the human mind that has fascinated audiences and critics alike since it was first written. Now it's your chance to experience this startling play that pushes the boundaries of storytelling, with deeply complex characters and painful questions about desire and belief.

Prepare to be amazed and unsettled as this horrifying, disturbing story of obsession and deviance returns to the stage.

So creative

This difficult story was presented extremely cleverly. The movement artists representing the horses were brilliant and supported the high level of acting. The play was completely enthralling.
