Description:

"Equus" play in search of actors. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: "Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. Alan's passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents, it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart, it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway in a celebrated 2008 revival starring Richard Griffiths and Daniel Radcliffe."
