Equus at Irish Classical Theatre

This modern classic won two major Best Play awards, a Tony and a New York Drama Critics Circle. This riveting and enduring play is something of a psychological thriller as a middle-aged child psychiatrist strives to reveal the true motivation behind a shocking action committed by a teenage boy under his care, while at the same time desperately trying to understand his own disillusioned life. Using a dramatic real event as a jumping off point, Peter Shafffer explores the unique territory of a confused and lonely boy who creates his own personal theology.
