'Equus' revival blinded by the light

Variety.com: "A revival of a 1973 psychological drama about a boy who blinds six horses might seem unlikely to cause a box office stampede. But that thinking doesn't allow for the 'Harry Potter' factor.
Prior to its first preview, London's new production of Peter Shaffer's 'Equus' already had taken an eye-widening £1.6 million ($3.1 million). Why? Because the play marks the stage debut of Daniel Radcliffe, better known as the title character in Warner Bros.' wizard franchise. And for about 10 minutes of the play, he's naked."
