| | |  Dan Radcliffe confirmed to star in 'Equus' - UPDATED
A while ago, there was a rumuor going around about Dan Radcliffe appearing as Alan Strang in the play Equus. The rumour was debunked, however, as he was not in the play at that time due to his filming schedule. It has now been confirmed that Dan will be in the play, along with fellow HP actor Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon).
Dan sent the following message to DR.com and DR.co.uk: Quote:
I'm really excited to be part of this production and thrilled to be working with Richard Griffiths again. This is obviously a huge departure for me as an actor, but Equus is such an amazing play that this really was an opportunity not to be missed. Rehearsal starts in January and I am very much looking forward to working with Thea Sharock who is an incredibly talented director. I only hope I do the role justice.
According to DR.com: Quote:
Peter Shaffer's Equus first premiered in 1973 in London, England and won a multitude of awards. Equus focuses on the relationship between seventeen-year-old Alan Strang (Radcliffe), who has blinded six horses with a spike, and Martin Dysart (Griffiths), a middle-aged psychiatrist who tries to figure out what drove Strang to commit the crime.
The play itself is quite complex, interwoven with symbolism, underlying truth and meaning, passion and madness. It is not suitable for a younger crowd. … there is much speculation about the possible "nudity" involved in some of the scenes, but there have been various renditions of this production without nudity as well. None of that has been determined as yet.
The play is scheduled to run in the spring. UPDATE: According to Dan Radcliffe's publicist Vanessa Davies, there will be a nude scene. Quote:
This is an extraordinary play and, yes, there is a scene of nudity in it, but that's not what the play is about.
He (Dan) finishes shooting 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' in October or November and rehearsals are starting in January. The play is expected to open in March.
This shouldn't affect ' Half-Blood Prince', given that ' Order of the Phoenix' will be in post-production during the time in which Dan is due to star in this play. UPDATE #2: The Daily Mail states that the play will run from February 27th to June 19th.  | |

OMG>>I Cannot believe it, he is going to be in Equus, YES!!! YES!!!
The sad part is that I am not going to be able to watch it, WHY NOT IN US??? WHY?
I am so proud of him for taking such a difficult and controversial role.

I was just reading about this on DR.com about a few minutes ago. I think it's really cool and it seems very interesting to see Dan play Alan Strang, a much more dramatic character. The whole theme seems alot more emotional too. Dan working with Richard Griffiths again is cool too.

I think it is great that Dan is going to do a dark, emotionally complext role for someone who is still a teenager. The nudity is surprising. I doubt that his father would allow him to do that play in the nude. If this was produced in the the U.S. nudity by law, would not be allowed. It would be considered child endangerment and the director would be arrested but not necessarily thrown in jail, but would be brought in for questioning and probably fined in allowing scenes like that with an underage actor. Thought anyone would like to know U.S. law in regards to a situation like that.
