Equus on Broadway - Extracts

[AyasexKanou]

Is it wrong of me to get all girlish and excited as he wraps himself on that man/horse? Becuase I was completely loving it and about had myself a noselbleed. That man/horse had a great body!

[BezuTheDemon]

240p.....we meet again..

[jujuishawesome]

This would have been so disturbing to watch

[PacificOrcas]

That must have been really awkward for the people playing the horses.... O.o

[ahoystetson]

the final moment, with daniel on 'nugget's' back, arms outstretched -- stunning.

[radcliffeolivia]

i am so confused.

[666789443]

Wow Daniel really sucks at acting. I saw this the other night at my college, it was great.

[jazzmenloria01]

@666789443 i did too

[Kinsey2285]

I don't like Daniel in that extract, though I've personally never thought much of his acting abilities anyway.

I saw a version of this last night as a school project. My friend and I were the only people that understood it.

If you aren't a strong person, you will NOT be able to handle it. It is bloody intense but an abolutely fantastic performance.

[CockyR4]

lol horsesex

[Jett1478]

LOL shits gay

[starnjuy]

@Jett1478 what?

[TheBeautiifulLiie]

this is.. weird XD

[th0rshammer68]

too bad radcliffe didnt really do a good job at least not in that part it just wasnt good acting but maybe the rest of the play is different

[spadesiesokay1]

He wants to f*ck horses?? wow abracadabeastiality



[megumicosmetic]

I will be reading it for my TAR 100 class. Actually I've already started reading it. Its freaking intense. Especially since its based on true events. Scary stuff....

[RussellThePumpkin]

@megumicosmetic It is?

[artshow11]

He said at 1:29 "carving up children"

[MsMcewan]

I agree with the person who sed hed rather c emma watson naked so would i

[nobodysgirl2010]

Does anyone know where/if I can watch this online?? I would LOVE to see it =(

[eternaldarkness19]

where did you find this?

[DrsJacksonn]

I'd rather see Emma Watson... Naikid...

[meangirl714]

hahahaha daniel's face at 1:31 is so funny XD he's like "what the hell?"

[bluerosesteph]

is it online anywhere?? or at least the script?? Please!!

[AngelJuliet]

how weird to see Uncle Vernon and Harry Potter together again only different lol

[AngelJuliet]

@rileyeqwc watchharry.us is most likely a virus. this post of yours is probably spam as it is from that virius.

[Theriot6592]

surprise horsesex!!

[Patrikuse]

Richard Griffiths is amazing!

[goback3spaces]

How about a radical production of EQUUS in which everyone is nude except the kid with the horse obsession?

[ezgi1407]

what is the name of the music playing in the background?? anyone knows?

[piyokolo]

Dan is amazing on Broadway! I think that it is good that he is breaking away from being Harry Potter and moving on to more adult roles.

[OakeyCarrie]

this was the most amazing play to read, let alone see. It's just right, so insighful yet so consise. Absolutely haunting, and a refreshing take on madness, that isn't just condemnment!

[FoxbouldProductions]

Screw extracts- I need to see the whole thing. Anyone know somewhere I can download it?

[Fa300]

Daniel Radcliff still fucking sucks at acting.

[kristien2010]

I haven't read the play, or the book for that matter. I'll be honest, I first became interested in this play when I found a story saying that Daniel Radcliffe was going to be nude. But after reading a synopsis of the original story, I really want to find a copy to read.

[MrBourne12]

I don't understand whats going on in equus

[IncredibleSierra]

@MrBourne12 I'll send you the link to the description. & it was a book before it was a play. So, maybe reading it could be helpful...

[FoxbouldProductions]

I desperately need to find a complete recording of this. Anyone got a link or any hints?

[Darksonicfan841]

I can never watch a Harry potter film again without this in my mind

[Darksonicfan841]

Ok is it me or did he just fuck a horse O.o

[VSMuadDib1973]

@Darksonicfan841 fucking the horse as you put it makes him closer to god

[moonchild0713]

if this was a book i would totally read it no matter how distubed i am at what its about.

[timmaothy]

@moonchild0713  T'is a play by Peter Shaffer

[useajonny]

daniel radcliffe cnat act

[EliExtraordinary]

@useajonny you cnat spell.

[useajonny]

@EliExtraordinary oh yes i can

[MissMiffed]

@useajonny no you cnat

[onyxmaggot]

@MissMiffed @EliExtraordinary

lmao

[irinaki111]

where i can download it?

[22Warriorcat]

Well....I'm not watching Harry Potter the same way again...

[jackkjack]

CAPTAIN JANEWAY!!!!!!

[iloveGerardWay1424]

i really wanted to see this :( but i live about 4-5 hours away and no one wanted to go with me to see it </3 it looks amazing...

[sorazgirl13]

I heard this play was really disturbing but that it was truly beautiful and everyone should see it.

[Moritz015]

what's it about?

[jimdivax]

@Moritz015 Basically a disturbed boy sees Horses as manifestations of God! He has sex with a girl in a stable while horses look on, is overcome with an Eden-like guilt and blinds them that they no longer see his shame....It's a fun night out!

[Future179]

@Moritz015 A phsyciatrist, Dysart - who is assigned to rip apart a teen, Alan - to find out why Alan had shoved a sharp horse-shoe pick onto six horses' eyes, making them blind.

It has very deep meaning.

I'm doing it for Drama :P

[saphuras1122]

One strange broadway but still looks inresting

[velvetcupcakes]

daniel radcliffe clearly has great taste. this is one of the most challenging parts out there for a guy his age and he owned it both in the West End and Broadway! And no, Alan doesn't have sex with the horses. As Dan put it in an interview, " he does ride them naked and get off on it", as he is a "very disturbed" young man. Which is why most of the play is him speaking with a shrink.

[kittylin333]

i could take this more seriously if there wasnt any nudity

[DaviDelicious]

That would of been simply amazing. I've read some of what the play is about and I think it would of been amazing. Daniel is a great actor and I think it would of been nice to see him perform in this play. *sigh*

[MsShishi101]

when would they have a movie remake for equus?

[LSgrimm91]

aside from wikipedia, i'll give some of you guys a run down. equus is about a psychiatrist (dysart) and a 17 y.o boy (alan strang, D.R). alan is sent to him for blinding six horse with a metal spike. a lot of the play is flash back through alan's past and thier conversations as dysart tries to uncover the reason alan commited that crime. we find out that alan has created a religion based on horse, namely the horse god 'equus'.

[theJimBug]

do you have the rest of the play or know if this one is on DVD cause I dont want to see an old version of it but it looks like an interesting play and I want to see it

[linzymack]

apparently they found him naked with a horse and theyre trying to figure out what happened. its fucking weird, i guess one has to see it to get it

[BarnabasFrid]

favorite play EVER and I walked out on this production after the first act-- TERRIBLE!

[elleoneiram]

@BarnabasFrid did you see the recent one with alec baldwin? (I have not, I was just wondering)

[DontStopBelieving145]

Can someone summarise the play for me?

[teamedward19963d]

what was this about ?!!?!?!?!

i know theres a point to him being nude . . . so what was it ??

[broadwaystarjpr]

what is this about

[likenips24]

Very hot!!

I like this video!

[sarahtalkstoaliens]

BESTIALITY!!!!!!

[Pinkstonnaked]

I hope this gets on DVD but I am not holding my breath though

[Deppdevotions]

I don't think this was actually ever shown on broadway but. The west end

[eastlazr]

@Deppdevotions Equus was actually shown on broadway for a limited engagement. the revival started on the west end and finished on broadway. truly a wonderfully provocative performance. I sat 2nd row orchestra center.

[Pinkstonnaked]

@eastlazr you so lucky! I was on the left and was 15 seats away I saw some but not enough though

[MrBroadwaylover1234]

i wish i got to see this im a huge fan of Richard Griffiths

[MISZASAN]

I've seen it in gielgud theatre - london. It was amazing, I'll never forget this 2 hours.

[KentuckyBrad1980]

is this play posted anywhere online??

[loverofwolves64]

It would be amazing to see this play.<3 I'm actually reading it now for Intro to theatre, and I love it.<3 I'm so tired of people who hear what its about and either have this reaction: "lol horsesex." or this one: "OMG, Daniel Radcliffe naked.<3" and who don't give a damn that this play is actually really deep and has a lot of meaning.

[wickedxtrixx]

i saw it twice; it was amazing. it really has nothing to do with having sex with horses. "equus" is his god; all his life his mother preached about religion, whereas his father is ((i guess?)) atheist, so, in his confusion for worship, he turns to the horse. the reason hes naked is because hes having sex in the barn where he works, aka the "temple", and feels that hes disrespecting his god. its like a catholic having sex in church.

[loverofwolves64]

Yeah, I finally finished reading it. It was just amazing. I can't even imagine what it would be like to see it.<3

[wickedxtrixx]

it was great. gave me chills.

if you go to my youtube channel, theres a video of me meeting dan after the show. its pretty funny.

[HPFreak4Life1708]

at least u got to meet him after the show, i didnt even get close to him after i saw the show cause he was sick

[theatopera]

Well, he is, to an extent, sexually attracted to horses. His religious worship and sexual fascination are kind of the same thing in Equus. When Jill falls in love with him, he doesn't quite know how to recipricate.

[Pinkstonnaked]

@loverofwolves64 it was good but its not all about the nudity! Yeah thats a bonus though he has such a cute naked body! WOOF

[flyspeckcafe]

@loverofwolves64 those are the folks who are terrified of anything to do with psyche, don't you think?

[TheTinkle]

@loverofwolves64 Ohw! Is the script available in print anywhere? :) I'm inrtigued by what it's about, but all the information findable pretty much yields the same result as aforementioned quotations. -_-

[ritsu45]

Mon dieu Daniel joue trop bien mais je n'ai vu que la version française et elle est bien aussi

[KeswickCamp08]

lol, i heard his voice & tone, & kept thinking of a Harry Potter, combined with Charlie Gorden type of charector! & LOL "carving up children" & was the "old" guy harry's uncle in "harry Potter"? & this play looks interesting!! Will there be a sensored version!? im not too comfortable seeing "Harry Potter" naked....but i LOVED the "Harry Potter has a hairy potter" Joke!!

[vampirephychic]

it won the 2009 tony awrad for best sound..i fond it and now i just want to watch it.

[gregoryFanatiker]

Wow! I remember seeing this brillant play in London years ago. I think it is one of the most interesting and captivating stories that I have seen! Daniel was so good in it. Pity I an't go and see it again...

Thanks for posting this short video :)

[96carlinhos]

this sucks

[georgiegirl999]

i'm studding this play!! i wish i could hav gone to see it!

[TheDrowWarrior1]

Im sorry if this sounds stupid guys but why does he blind the horses?

[paullafren]

it's not stupid at all. The whole play is an attempt to explicate Alan's (Radcliffe's) actions.

[GlindaWicked]

@TheDrowWarrior1

Because they 'saw into his soul', basically he was about to have sex with a girl and he believes that the horses don't like it

[w8ulostme]

I don't mean this to sound like a smart ass but go read the play if you haven't already. It's very intense and you will not be disappointed.

[Darkpuppy99]

so i finished reading the play and i am stunned.... i want to see it!

[lPinkRainn]

really wish i went to see this :@ daniel radcliffe NAKED! OH YES!!!!

[BurningDogFace]

If you're going to Equus for the nudity, you're going for the wrong reasons.

[ihategordonstoun]

@BurningDogFace absolutly ! i read the play. my god it was just pheonominal truley a masterpiece. having said that its not the sort of genre that everyone is inclined to enjoy but for those who do it really is AMAZING i dont honestly think the actors did the writing justice though unfortunatly

[ihategordonstoun]

@BurningDogFace absolutly ! i read the play. my god it was just pheonominal truley a masterpiece. having said that its not the sort of genre that everyone is inclined to enjoy but for those who do it really is AMAZING i dont honestly think the actors did the writing justice though unfortunatly

[Sabrina7722772]

i can't help it i keep seeing them as harry and uncle vernon!

lol

[DeadlyVillain12]

Im sorry if this is a stupid question,but how does he blind the horses???

[brycezapped]

He used a pick.

[ChristyABell]

this was amazing on Broadway. I wish I could've seen it again :/ Daniel and Richard were brilliant

[Katwillbehere]

Is this play like . . . really creepy?

[HantoKah]

Not particularly, at least not when I read it through. Facing the issues it presents head-on can be unsettling, but the play encourages you to identify with both the psychiatrist and the boy, so the three of you will share confusion, frustration, and joy, so it's somewhat comfortable that way.

[brycezapped]

It was weird. I mean, I wouldn't have enjoyed it if it were another actor. Obviously, I'm a big HP fan.

[TheGirlOnStage]

the movie is really creepy - back in the day when censorship apparently didnt exist...

the play when you read it is creepy, but more of a good way like HantoKah said.

[NoctemODB]

como mola!!!! me encanta dan

[AerosmithAngel31]

Equus is such an amazing play; i've always wanted to see it, no matter who's playing the role of Alan. But Daniel is such an amazing actor, in my opinion, and he only makes me want to see it even more

[Elizabethanngeorge]

Not Really 00Andreas00 hes got bum dimples lool

[llc88]

My gosh, I love this play, I read it before I knew Daniel Radcliffe was associated with it. I wish he wasn't because this play is soo much more than nudity.

[SpecialEdMafia]

that was sick

[Adoohi]

i don't get it !!

can any ony tell me what is it about !?

[llc88]

You should read the play, it's really short by Peter Shaffer.

My take on the play: It's based on Peter Shaffer's interpretation and imaginative events that led a boy to blind 6 horses. That is the only true event, the blinding. The rest is all made up by the author. Alan Strang, the boy (played here by Daniel Radcliffe) goes into treatment of Harry Dysart. The psychiatrist induces hypnosis and brings about these scenes.

[llc88]

I think...And this is my opinion, that it has to do with religion...Alan's father doesn't like religion in general, and when Alan hung a picture of Jesus in his room and really revered it, his father replaced it witha picture of a horse...And those actions carried over...He began to worship the horse. When he fell in love with a girl and proceeded to have sex his god and the girl were in conflict...He blinded the horse so that they wouldn't see him anymore...

[HantoKah]

The point is that people don't get it right away. The play is about finding out why.

[madmanhunter]

yes we all want to see a story about a kid who has a sick obsession for horses.

[Elizabethanngeorge]

Its Really Good :) i saw it with daniel in it a while ago. and hes naked hahaha Lool

[00Andreas00]

Did it turn you on?

[crush52309]

did anyone see the play and is it on youtube. the one with daniel in it? it looks really good!

[RachelLovesMJ]

This play looks really good, i want to see it.

[tricianch]

I dont get it... :(

[mitzmayo]

is equus a scary movie?

[makigott5]

Lolzzzz its a stage play.... and psychological for that matter...

[purpletights22]

its not a movie, its a play

[mitzmayo]

yeah sorry, I forget the word play, thats why I asked...I knew it was a play and please don't tell me:use the dictionary jjjajajaja...may I know about what talk the play? what was the plot?

[livingdeaddolls]

These is actually a film of it, but it was originally a play.

No, it's not particularly scary.

[Milochick96]

Hey is there more of equus i never saw it like did someone film the whole play?

[Gigglingcharny]

yeah, id like to see it too

[kazkal]

If he worshipped horses why did he blind them.

[bigasista]

he doesnt worship them he is sexually attracted to them...im not kidding

[ajayfromreno]

damn dans got a hot body

[belaisa007]

montageem (:

[delpa1986]

after I saw the last show in nyc, i read the play and watched the movie - theyr all the same

[notsosugarfree]

I would LOVE to read the play or see this live. This looks like a phenomenal production.

[ninjaofthe9seas]

i definitely agree..

[nocturnezero]

Just throwin' it out there, what if Radcliffe pops it up onstage?

[nubblets]

thats disgusting. this is a beautiful play, and all the actors are professionals. thats such a retarded thing to say.

[nocturnezero]

Hey man, chill. I love the play, too, but you have to wonder. Everything needs humor; nothing wrong with that. But I mean, really, what if? Does he just... keep going?

[Jennafuhh15]

no matter what you have to keep going, unless someone gets really hurt or something.

but I actually just saw a interview from a long time ago and he mentioned someone asking that and just joking he said he doesn't worry about it becuase that would be great.

lol

[chunkyb0i]

i was thinking that same damn thing. lol

[christine4771]

does anyone know what the music is being played here?

[BryGuy161616]

OMG! I want to see this play so bad! I read it book twice!

[ninjaofthe9seas]

what is this supposed to be about?

[helentheswimstar]

apparently it's about this guy and his love for horses or something.. i'm not sure though.

[FallinButStillAlive]

close but no its about a 17 year old kid who has a more sexual fascination with horses but blinds 6 and that guy was his psychiatrist who is trying to figure out and treat this kids problum

[livingdeaddolls]

He also worships horses as a God-like figure. His Mother read the Bible to him at an early age, and he had a grotesque picture of Christ in agony at the foot of his bed. His Father, who is Atheist, replaced the picture (after a row with his wife about religion) with a photo of a horse.

Alan started worshipping the photo of the horse instead, and so began his twisted vision of horses as the god Equus, along with a sexual fascination about them

[livingdeaddolls]

Though I must say that he never actually engages in intercourse with a horse. The most he does is ejaculate whilst riding naked. Alan says that he enjoys "the feel of the horse between your legs, all that power going anywhere you wanted, the sweat, and oh the smell" (fyi, the quote might not be 100% accurate)

[anitaxbelen]

ke wekito el papel pero aun asi lo amoo y sigue siendo un buen actor (Y)

[jumpingshrimp80]

i dnt get it

[bartkid18]

wow

i wanna see it but i live in australia...which sux coz its not coming over her :(

[VictoriaBongiorno]

Most incredible play ever. Gives me chills every time I think about it... amazing.

[luckdragon88]

Cool, i never knew Kate Mulgrew was in this!

[TheTeeShirtShow]

i sorta know the story but anyone who has seen it, is it really scary?

[6MrLong9]

im perfoming this, and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of a piece of music i cud use, something disturbing........ particularly for the scene where the horses are blinded

[HPgeek2]

Check out the American McGee's Alice soundtrack. You might find something there. What part are you playing, if you don't mind me asking?

[MovieMagic01]

Kelly Clarksons song Irvine. Its increadibly disturbing, and earie but also really good

[darkscaryprincess]

I saw this play Daniel was amazing.!

[MrsArdenKevinJonas]

im not to sure about you guys, but id like to see mister Daniel Radcliffe naked. :]]

[comandoLOTR]

hey... who knows the name of the sound :(...

..

.. please help

[livingdeaddolls]

If you read the play, Peter Shaffer (the playwright) comments at the beginning of the play.

Peter Shaffer once heard from a friend (who indeed had heard it from another friend) that a young man blinded 6 (not 26, lol) horses.

Sadly, Shaffer's friend died before he could question him any further. The storyline of the play has spawned from that simple statement "a young man blinded six horses in a stable".

[ninjaofthe9seas]

i cant even find anything on the internet about that story. it seems to be not documented or anything...i wanted to do some background checking and i cant find anything.

[RageAndLove1]

If you take it as realism it would seem really over dramatic but there is a lot of symbolism to be found.

[yaminesnape]

Yes, there is a lot of symbolism, but the story is real. In real life, if I'm not mistaken, the guy blinded 26 horses.

[RageAndLove1]

Well the author just heard from a friend that some guy went to jail for blinding a bunch of horses. That's all he knew, and it might not even be true. This is just a fictional explanation of why someone might have done that.

[emorocker1230]

ZOOPHILES ROCK!

[emorocker1230]

metal horses

[RageAndLove1]

Why do you say it is a crappy play?

[heiressOFny]

i saw this on broadway

this was the most brilliant play ever made

[adorablemarina]

Daniel Radcliffe is so brave to go on stage in front of loads of poeple

i act and that is hard cuz its so funny in an acters eyes

[vanyliababy]

lol where is voldemort?
