New Edgecliff Theatre opens its 2009-2010 season with the critically acclaimed Equus. Written by the Oscar Award-winning Peter Shaffer, Equus opened at the National Theatre in 1973 and became a worldwide sensation, winning both the Tony and Drama Desk Awards. In 2007, a new production opened in London starring Richard Griffiths and Daniel Radcliffe (star of the Harry Potter series), becoming one of the biggest hits ever seen in the West End before moving to Broadway.
The play opened on Broadway with Richard Gere in the lead role which the New York Times deemed 'powerful and provocative.' When I saw that magnificent production co-starring David Dukes, I thought that BENT was certainly one of the greatest plays I had ever seen. Prior to Broadway, it premiered in London starring Ian McKellan. Audiences have been mesmerized and moved by its scathing depiction of the persecution and encampment of gay men and Jews in Third Reich Germany. This powerful play was subsequently turned into a film with Clive Owen and Mick Jagger in 1997.
