The Upcoming (Jonathan Marshall)

Inspired by a true story, Equus sets out to explore the relationships between devotion, myth, and sexuality. When teenager Alan Strang’s pathological fascination leads him to blind six horses in a Hampshire stable, psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart is tasked with uncovering the motive behind the boy’s violent act.

The creative team also includes designer Georgia Lowe, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer and sound designer Giles Thomas, choreographer and movement director Shelley Maxwell, associate director Denzel Westley-Sanderson, and casting director Anne McNulty.

This production of Equus was produced by English Touring Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East and is produced in the West End by Trafalgar Theatre Productions.
