If the new production of Equus is half as good as the poster, it will run forever!

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

He is 17. 18 next July.
And if you aren't familiar with the play it is about a young man who has blinded several horses in a vicious attack. I won't give way more than that, but the image fits the play brilliantly.

Incredible. I'm tempted to look through the company credits to try and find the firm or individual who designed this. It's one of the most perfect theatre posters I've ever seen. And Radcliffe is 17, why? There's no minimum age for having one's torso dissolve into a horse's head.

I cna't find any designer listed anywhere. John Napier is doing the sets & costumes, however. If anyone is interested here is the website.

Stunning.
It makes me wanna go see this.
I'm not real keen on the West End award shows, so forgive me if this is wrong, but, is there an award for best poster design for the Lawrence Olivier awards?
Cause this should win.

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 5:12pmehh... I understand it's brilliance, but at the same time it makes my stomach turn.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 5:17pmI think the eerie, stomach turning quality of the poster is exactly its brilliance - the subject matter and tone of the play are incredibly disturbing.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 5:32pmI was scrolling very slowly, and only saw the tip of the letters at first on the poster. And I thought it said FOLLIES at first. LOL. I was going to say, interesting concept for Follies!
