Back Alley Productions Celebrates Their 10th Anniversary With Peter Shaffer's EQUUS At The Players' Ring Theatre Image

From March 2 - 18 Back Alley Productions will present Peter Shaffer's classic masterpiece, Equus to the Players Ring Theatre, located at 105 Marcy Street Portsmouth, NH. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 with discounts for students, seniors, and Players' Ring members. To make your reservation visit playersring.org or call 603-436-8123

Psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart, is confronted with a boy named Alan Strang 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 into a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation.

Equus is for mature audiences only.

Back Alley Productions has been creating thought provoking, quality, theater for the New Hampshire Seacoast since 2008, when they first collaborated with Rolling Die Productions to bring Equus to the stage. Now, 10 years later, its founders, Joi Smith and Danica Carlson, continue to share a passion for highlighting the amazing talents in the community and bringing to life the beautiful stories of the human experience for their audiences to enjoy.

About the Players Ring: Since 1992, the mission of The Players' Ring has been to promote the efforts of local artists through the production of original works, while providing an affordable theatre space to local production companies. "The Ring" provides an environment where artists can thrive, grow, take risks and make daring choices.
