Gods of Terror in the Mind's Eye
EQUUS is an electrifying journey into the mind of a 17-year-old boy who senselessly and systematically blinds six horses with a steel spike.
As a psychiatrist explores the young boy's tortured psyche, the play becomes a shattering confrontation between the passionate spirit of the life force itself, and the distortions forced on the spirit by "civilized" society.
Fresh from a season as the hit of the London stage, EQUUS opened in New York to unqualified rave reviews, and won the Tony Award for Best Play.
Walter Kerr, in The New York Times, called EQUUS "Remarkable... a psychiatric detective story of infinite skill... the closest I have seen a contemporary play come-it is powerfully close-to reanimating the spirit of mystery that makes the stage a place of breathless discovery."
