Actress Elaine Bromka was presented with the refurbished "horse head" worn by her husband Peter Phillips in the Original 1974 Broadway production of Peter Shaffer's EQUUS. The restored headpiece -carefully executed by the current EQUUS Prop Supervisor Mike Smanko - was presented by the actors who portray the horses in the new hit production of the play at the Broadhurst Theatre before the matinee performance on Wednesday,November 12th, 2008

Under the direction of Thea SharrockEQUUS began previews September 5 and opened officially on September 25 for a limited 22-week engagement through February 8, 2009 at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street).   

Daniel  Radcliffe has played the title role in all five of the  "Harry Potter" films to date, and will star again in the sixth, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," due out July 2009.  Other films include "December Boys" and "Tailor of Panama."  He recently appeared on television in the PBS-TV Masterpiece's "My Boy Jack," and he made a cameo appearance on stage in the West End in "The Play What I Wrote." 

EQUUS is Mr. Shaffer's play about a boy with a secret and the surprising things that happen when a beautiful young girl brings that secret to light.  After the mild-mannered stable boy Alan Strang (played by Daniel Radcliffe) has committed a serious crime, the court-appointed psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Richard Griffiths) is charged with revealing the mysteries behind the boy's behavior while confronting his own self-doubt in his marriage, his profession and his life.
