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."

It does sound like an interesting play, but not one that would particularly interest me. Well, I hope we have a review on the play after it comes out in 2007.

Interesting comments. I wonder if they will record the play for later distribution on various television stations, such as PBS. Then we all might get a chance to judge the performance.

Its good that Daniel keeps doing different things, but its also strange that him and Rupert keep working with people who they have worked with from the Harry Potter films!

Sounds cool. I still can't believe how busy Dan must be. He's doing so much! I'm glad he's getting to do other things besides the HP series though, especially since he seems to be enjoying them.
I also hope there will be a review of it!

This sounds like its going to be a GREAT play. I am sorry that DANIAL is going to be a BAD GUY.... (Not really. I like it when actors branch out.)

How does he have time to do all this stuff?!
Anyway, I wish I was going, but I'm not. Plus the play's plot disturbs me slightly. But I hope it gets good reviews.

It seems like she has a lot more to contend with than just directing the play. She sounds like an experienced professional and should be able to handle what comes her way. Blessings! Hecate3fold!
