SYNOPSIS
EQUUS is a harrowing journey into the mind of a young man who blinds
six horses with
a metal spike at a stable in Southern England. As a psychiatrist
explores the young man's
tortured psyche, the play becomes a heartbreaking confrontation
between the passionate
spirit of ones own life force and the shackles forced upon it by
"civilized" society.
