¿Qué lleva a un joven de 17 años a cegar a seis caballos? Esta es la pregunta a la que se enfrenta el psiquiatra Martin Dysart mientras sumerge en la psique de su joven paciente Alan Strang para buscar respuestas y al mismo tiempo cuestionar si la cura es más peligrosa que el crimen. La intrigante y galardonada obra de Peter Shaffer es ahora considerada una obra maestra moderna.
