We have previously
posted about Dan Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths' upcoming appearance in Equus on London's West End next year.
In one piece on the play, it mentions that previews of the play will start on February 16th and the official opening night is planned for February 27th. While most of the information may be accurate, official word will not be released till next week.
In an interview with the director of the play, Thea Sharrock speaks about her previous and upcoming work:
Though Sharrock has worked with some of the most highly respected thesps in the business, Radcliffe, a relative stage novice, is likely to draw the spotlight to the production like no-one else. "The speculation is not my problem," she states sternly. "I've just got to get on with the job. I think you get into real trouble the minute you start worrying about that kind of thing. I suspect that play itself would bring along a fair amount of speculation but then the minute you have Daniel Radcliffe in it, it brings it to a whole new level, but much like him, it's not what I'm concentrating on; we're just getting on with the play."

I wonder if we could see this play on internet. It would be great. I hope that we are going at least to get pictures.

Can you possibly blame her? I would hope someone would recognize her work instead of just worrying about Daniel.

Cool. I think it's good that Dan's taking on a (much) more mature role. It will expand his abilities as an actor. I wish him the best of luck!!!

Well, she seems to make comments about Dan's appearance... on the other hand, his appearance will help bring more attention to her as well... So it's a win win.

I just hope that paying there will be a good experience for him, and I hope to see him coming back for the sixth movie! By the way, do we have any information about the official director yet?

I'm glad Dan is expanding his career. Continuing with his theatre and doing other movies (aside from HP) will help him develop as an actor so we'll still see him around years after the HP movies are over.

I am seriously in the process of begging my mother to send me to London just so I could see Dan in that play. He's going to be riding on a horse naked in the play, naked people!!! (at least that's what I heard. He's a little nervous about doing the nude scene but he said he has to do it) I have to see that, but the play sounds great also.
I hope they put some pictures of him in that play online. I am begging anyone, anyone who is going to see that play, to secretly take pictures of him on stage!

Interesting. I just hope little kids who are fans of him don't go to see it. I mean, younger than say 14. They'll be giggling through the naked scene.

That is cool, that he is going out of the box from Harry Potter. Even though he will always be known for the role of Harry Potter

Oh, is this the one where he is supposed to make an apperance "in naturalia"? Weee... Good luck, Dan! You must really be devoted to what you are doing to want your seventeen (?) year old body be recorded like that to stick with you for the rest of your life... ;)

Oh, more news! I'm really exited about this play and I wish there was some way I could see it. (I'm guessing no one's going to be taking pictures, hee hee.) I'm really happy for Dan and I know he'll do a great job, as he does in anything he does.

The1WhoMustBeNamed, I really doubt that this play will ever be on public access television, considering the fact of what he has to do exactly... but we'll probably see it one Pay Per View-HA
