This play has seen a revival on the London stage. Originally this was produced back in the 1970’s as a Broadway play and a movie. The play is about a disturbed young man named Alan Strang, played by Daniel Radcliffe, who mutilates six horses for apparently no reason. He is sent to a mental institution for evaluation by a psychiatrist named Dysart, played by Richard Griffiths. The play is performed on a stark, round stage that uses lighting and shapes to convey the setting. We take a look at the play and the meanings behind the disturbing images that were presented in the two-hour performance.
