EQUUS by Peter Shaffer

A Tony/Jessie Award Winning Powerhouse play.

Returning to the Vancouver stage for the first time in more than twenty years, Equus is one of the most celebrated psychological dramas in modern theatre. A provocative fever dream on the cost of suppressing passion in a society where "normality" is dogma, Sir Peter Shaffer's masterpiece continues to captivate and challenge audiences decades after its premiere.

Southern England, 1973. When a seventeen-year-old boy commits an unthinkable act of violence, celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart is called upon to answer the most pressing question: Why? What follows will challenge far more than either Doctor or patient expects.
