Hi. I was just wondering if anyone had seen this play. I think it sounds interesting and Daniel Radcliffe is one of my favorite actors so I would just like to know whose seen it. Thanks!

I saw the play with Radcliffe in London.
He did a fine job. The staging calls for him to be on stage the whole time, and he did a fine job of making good, specific character choices even when he was just laying there.
I got a particularly good view of that because the London staging has some special seats set up behind and above the stage. They're not really good seats, because the blocking arranges a lot of important moments so that they can be seen from the stalls and not from the special seats, but they're an interesting view of the actors when they're not in focus. Radcliffe did a fine job maintaining his character through those moments, when some actors would tend to lose focus.
I was particularly impressed with his work just before intermission, where he's riding on the back of one of the other actors. Combined with some fancy staging (the stage itself moves while the actor he's riding canters over it), you could really feel the wind in his hair and his exultation at the freedom. It's vitally important to the play that the character arc from the beginning, where he's sullen and sulky, to that point. It's the contrast that shows the actor's range.
Compared to that, the nude scene at the end was merely OK. He committed nicely to the moment, but it's such a self-consciously written scene that I always have a hard time buying it. Nudity always upstages an actor, which is why I thought it was a good choice to be partially dressed in the scene just before intermission, even though the script calls for nudity there.
I didn't get to see him work with Richard Griffiths, who was ill when I was in London. But he did a fine job working with Griffiths' understudy. That's very impressive, since the understudy actually had a script in his hand. (He gave a fine performance nonetheless, I felt.) For a young actor he has fine presence of mind.

I have seen Equus, but not with Radcliffe
I saw it years ago when it first opened
Its a very powerful show about a desperate and misunderstood young man. I'm sure Radcliffe is excellent in it!

I haven't seen it with him, but it's an incredible play. You should see it even if it didn't have him in it. If you like him, you'll be seeing a lot of him in it. Besides the fact that he's in virtually every scene, and it's a fascinating character he's playing (actually based on a true story), he's nude in one scene (or at least that's what the play calls for), so you'll be seeing a lot of him, so to speak.
Just for the record, it's about a boy who has blinded some horses. It's mostly between him and the psychiatrist who is trying to figure out why.

Harry's eyes are important interior the books. an outstanding form of human beings interior the e book respect his eco-friendly eyes which he were given from Lily. yet interior the films, they don't imagine eyes are really that important. they offer extra importance to the hair. have you ever talked about that some characters change their coiffure in each and each of the pieces. as an instance Dumbledore. 1st and second movie hes were given a very lengthy quickly hair and beard. at the same time as Michael Gambon took the area in third, 4th, and fifth movie, his hair became shorter and wavy, as well as his beard. when we talked with regard to the sixth movie, they replaced again his hair to quickly. What about Harry, what number cases did he change his hair interior the films? What i'm attempting to assert is they don't really take care of the small archives. They began him with blue eyes so that they'll end the tale with him having those blue eyes. Plus, Daniel Radcliffe stated in the previous that human beings could no longer be perfectionist. Books are completely different from video clips. video clips are only the distinction of books. you does no longer anticipate them to positioned each thing it truly is interior the books

No, but I really would like to, I heard it's a really good play, it has some really good reviews. But nothing should stop you from seeing it yourself and I strongly advise that you do and go watch it.
