The production will run at the Menier Chocolate Factory from the 8th May until the the 4th July, ahead of a run at the Theatre Royal Bath from the 14th to the 25th July.
The Menier Chocolate Factory has announced complete casting for Lindsay Posner’s revival of ‘Equus’ by Peter Shaffer, officially opening at the theatre on the 18th May.
This co-production with the Theatre Royal Bath will star: Toby Stephens (Dr. Martin Dysart) are Amanda Abbington (Hesther Salomon), Bella Aubin (Jill Mason), Emma Cunniffe (Dora Strang), Paula James (Nurse), Colin Mace (Frank Strang), Ed Mitchell (Nugget/Young Horseman), David Rubin (Dalton) and Noah Valentine (Alan Strang), with Luke Hodkinson, Aristide Lyons, Zach Parkin, Tommi Sutton and Moses Ward.
What prompts a 17-year-old boy to blind six horses? This is the challenge presented to psychiatrist Martin Dysart as he delves into the psyche of his young patient Alan Strang to search for the answers and at the same time questioning whether the cure is more dangerous than the crime.
Having first premiered in 1973, this revival of the play will feature a creative team formed of set and costume designer Paul Farnsworth, lighting designer Paul Pyant, composer and sound designer Adam Cork and movement director James Cousins.
