Featuring Andrew Jessop,  current Jeff-nominee for Principal Actor for The Pillowman, and Brian Parry, three-time Jeff-nominee for Principal Actor in a Redtwist production

                 

Redtwist reconceives its smash hit from 2007 for an entirely new and aggressively different staging of Peter Shaffer’s legendary, Tony Award-winning drama. The Redtwist signature style, as seen in our recent Jeff-nominated production of The Pillowman, is inches away as the gods of “passion” and “normal” battle it out for the soul of an intense, troubled youth.

Based on a true story, Peter Shaffer's unique psychological thriller explores the boundary between passion versus normalcy. Despite the play’s provincial British origins, Redtwist’s production of Equus will utilize standard American stage speech, with the actors present throughout the play, serving as tribunal and confessors, as well as the horses that are at the heart of this bizarre and riveting mystery. The play, rooted in both modern psychology and ancient ritual, dissects the everlasting human need of worship and passion.

                 

Please note: The play includes adult language and nudity and is suitable for mature audiences only.
