It's nearly twenty years since Daniel Radcliffe first tried to throw off the Harry Potter shackles in the 2007 version of Peter Shaffer’s 1973 play Equus. Now director Lindsay Posner has revived Shaffer's deeply traumatic story about the fluctuating relationship between a psychiatrist, Dr Dysart, and a teenage boy, Alan Strang.

Theatre that lights a fire underneath you, theatre that gets inside your head – such a reaction can only come from something truly impactful.

As much a comedy of menace as it is a comedy of manners.
