Apresentado em uma co-produção com Theatre Royal Bath
O que leva um jovem de 17 anos a cegar seis cavalos? Este é o desafio apresentado ao psiquiatra Martin Dysart enquanto ele mergulha na psique de seu jovem paciente Alan Strang em busca de respostas e, ao mesmo tempo, questionando se a cura é mais perigosa que o crime. A peça brilhantemente intrigante e premiada de Peter Shaffer é agora considerada uma obra-prima moderna.
