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 one’s own life force and the shackles forced upon it by “civilized” society.
