Photos: Toby Stephens and More in EQUUS Rehearsals at Menier Chocolate Factory
The production opens at the Menier on 18 May, with previews from 8 May, and runs until 4 July, ahead of a run at Theatre Royal Bath from 14 to 25 July.
The Menier Chocolate Factory is presenting Lindsay Posner's major revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus, in its co-production with Theatre Royal Bath Productions. See photos of the company in rehearsals here!
The cast features Toby Stephens (Dr. Martin Dysart), Amanda Abbington (Hesther Salomon), Bella Aubin (Jill Mason), Emma Cunniffe (Dora Strang), Paula James (Nurse), Colin Mace (Frank Strang), Ed Mitchell (Nugget/Young Horseman), DAVID RUBIN (Dalton) and Noah Valentine (Alan Strang), with Luke Hodkinson, Aristide Lyons, Zach Parkin, Tommi Sutton and Moses Ward.
What prompts a 17-year-old boy to blind six horses? This is the challenge presented to psychiatrist Martin Dysart as he delves into the psyche of his young patient Alan Strang to search for the answers and at the same time questioning whether the cure is more dangerous than the crime. Peter Shaffer's brilliantly intriguing award-winning play is now considered a modern masterpiece.
