In ‘Equus,’ Thea Sharrock and Fin Walker Find New Ways to Make the Horses Dance

NYTimes.com: "THE scene comes at the very end of “Equus,” now playing at the Broadhurst Theater on Broadway. After more than two hours of anticipation a young man named Alan, played by Daniel Radcliffe, blinds six horses in a nightmarish dance that leaves the audience disturbed and stunned. It lasts only 20 seconds, but the blinding, which onstage is manifest as a kind of equine ballet, has become one of the most memorable parts of this drama, making the men who portray the horses a vital part of “Equus” since its premiere in 1973."
