Equus (6 July – 7 September)
If you’re looking to make both pride and summer hotter this year then award-winning director Ned Bennett’s revival of Equus is the ticket for you. Following its five-star run earlier this year at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, it’s making a transfer into London’s Trafalgar Studios for a limited 9-week run. Sir Peter Shaffer’s psychological play begins when a horrifying crime is committed and Dr Martin Dysart attempts to discover what possible motives 17-year old Alan Strang could have had to carry out such a ghastly offence. The psychiatrist digs deep and begins to lose himself in the process as he delves further into Alan’s mind which is consumed by warped worship, sexuality and religious fervour. This shocking and dark production focuses on what it means to be normal and what compels us to act the way we do. This highly acclaimed play is set to shock audiences once again this summer, and tickets are likely to be hotter than the great British weather, so be sure to get yours whilst availability lasts!
