Long Beach Playhouse – Studio Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
When a seventeen-year-old blinds a half dozen horses with a metal spike, you have a problem … and also the beginnings of a theatrical masterpiece: Equus. Written by Peter Shaffer, best known for writing the Tony-winning play (and later Oscar-winning movie) Amadeus, Equus examines the complex relationship between Alan Strang, the teenage culprit, and Martin Dysart, the brilliant psychiatrist determined to treat him. But “treatment” becomes tricky as Dysart realizes that probing the boy’s troubled mind brings him face-to-face with his own scarred psyche. Andrew Nowak (Strang) and Noah Wagner (Dysart) lead a talented cast in this Tony-winning play at the Studio Theatre of the Long Beach Playhouse.
