Equus, the acclaimed psychological drama by playwright Peter Shaffer, returns to the stage in a striking production at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory. First premiering in 1973, the play quickly became one of the most talked about works in modern theatre, praised for its bold themes and powerful storytelling. The drama centres on psychiatrist Martin Dysart as he attempts to understand the disturbing actions of a young stable boy, Alan Strang, who has committed a shocking act of violence against a group of horses. As Dysart delves deeper into Alan’s psyche, the play unfolds into a haunting exploration of obsession, faith, repression, and the nature of human passion.
