Equus by Peter Shaffer
4.0

See now THIS is theater. What in the hell did I just read? What would it be like to see this live, with a bunch of strangers surrounding you while all this shit is going on? How sublimely uncomfortable would that be? If the point of theater is to experience something new and thought-provoking, then this succeeded. My man Peter Shaffer heard about a guy blinding a horse and was like, Hm what happened there? Probably involves horse worship and erectile dysfunction. I wonder why Daniel Radcliffe wanted to be in this one. How did this even get on his radar? Fascinating. Imagine watching this and having absolutely no preconception of psychiatry and Freud's theories of sexual development. Imagine rural tourists visiting New York or London and going to see a play for the first time ever and they choose this one.
