EQUUS, by Peter Shaffer

EQUUS, by Peter Shaffer

Presented by the Silken Thomas Players.

Silken Thomas Players return to The Moat Theatre with their highly anticipated festival production of Equus by Peter Shaffer.

Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, investigates the savage blinding of six horses at a stable in Hampshire, England.

For no apparent reason, an unassuming seventeen-year-old stable boy name Alan Strang, the only son of a timid father and a refined, religious mother, committed the atrocity with a hoof pick.

As Dysart exposes the truths behing the boy's demons, he finds himself confronting his own insecurities about religon, sexuality and his relationship with his wife.
