Mockingbird Theatre Company Members Maggie Chrétien and Scott Middleton feature alongside Jeremy Kewley as Martin Dysart in the deeply disturbing yet richly provocative work, Equus, by English playwright Peter Shaffer
An explosive play that took critics and audiences by storm and became a world-wide sensation upon its release, Equus is Peter Shaffer’s exploration of the way modern society has destroyed our ability to feel passion. Alan Strang is a disturbed youth whose dangerous obsession with horses leads him to commit an unspeakable act of violence. As psychiatrist Martin Dysart struggles to understand the motivation for Alan’s brutality, he is increasingly drawn into Alan’s web and eventually forced to question his own sanity and purpose. Equus is a timeless classic and a cornerstone of contemporary drama that delves into the darkest recesses of human existence.
