Synopsis
Equus by Peter Shaffer
Psychiatrist Martin Dysart is brought the most challenging case of his career. Alan Strang seems like a normal seventeen year old. His life appears routine and his family loving. However, Alan’spassion for horses and an encounter with stable hand Jill has led him to behave in the most devastating way. Dysart must discover why this severely troubled teenager, has gouged out the eyes of six horses with a hoof pick. Dysart slowly realizes that Alan has evolved his own bizarre religion, in which horses are his gods — and has enacted a strange Passion Play.
Only Dysart seems able to grasp the answer to this psychological puzzle. He understands that to cure the boy, he must take from him the richest and most profound experience of his life. The boy’s fierce passion forces Dysart to recognize the barrenness and aridity of his own existence.
