Inspired by real-life events, Equus by Peter Shaffer (Amadeus, Lettice & Lovage) is a haunting and provocative drama that explores obsession, faith, and the complicated boundaries between desire and control.

After a troubled young man commits a shocking act of violence against six horses, psychiatrist Martin Dysart is tasked with uncovering the mystery behind it. As Dysart enters the young man’s deeply private world, he encounters a powerful relationship between boy and horse—one rooted in ritual, imagination, passion, and reverence. But the deeper Dysart digs, the more he is forced to confront his own assumptions about sanity, individuality, and what it means to truly live.
Blending psychological realism with striking theatrical imagery, Equus asks unsettling questions about conformity and freedom, the forces that shape us, and the price of extinguishing the passions that make us who we are.

Equus premiered at the National Theatre in London on July 17, 1973, and then premiered on Broadway on October 24, 1975, featuring Peter Firth and Anthony Hopkins. On September 25, 2008, a Broadway revival opened starring Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths.
