Back in July we posted a report that Harry Potter actors Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths would be starring
in a production of Equus in the spring on London’s West End.
Now two Daniel Radcliffe fan sites, DR.co.uk and DR.com are giving fans the chance to purchase tickets for the play before they go on sale to the general public.
Dan had this to say in a message to both sites:
I just wanted to thank all my fans for the tremendous support you have shown me in my forthcoming role of Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer's Equus. As you know, this is an incredibly powerful drama and the decision to play this part was not one taken lightly. This role will stretch me as an actor further than I can possibly imagine and I am so excited to be involved in this production and to be directed in my theatre debut by one of the most talented directors working today, Thea Sharrock. I am also delighted to be starring opposite Richard Griffiths who of course, aside from playing 'my Uncle Vernon' was just recently awarded a Tony for his performance in The History Boys. He is truly a remarkable actor and there is no one I'd rather have guide me through this unique stage experience. Thank you again, your support means the world to me".
Please go to both sites for information on the Equus web site as well as information on dates and ticket prices.

That is neat that he's trying to give his fans an advantage in ticket sales. But doesn't the whole thing make you wonder if the director just cast Dan to gain an audience to a play that has already been done so many times? I don't know, but I think it's a little like the Brill Building of the 50s.

Okay, Pearl*, I know I've been out the loop, but that statement Dan made almost brought tears to my eyes. He is quite something. I hope you will be able to get tickets so that I can live this through your eyes. There's no chance of my going so I'm counting on you, my dear!

My only worry about young fans being invited to see Equus is them ruining the power of the play by screaming and carrying on...
Hopefully they have more respect than that...

I would really love to go see this show. You have no idea, but there is no way that I'll be able to. I just hope that somewhere they might post it on the net so we all can see it...

Good luck to both Richard Griffiths and Dan on the upcoming play. Well, mostly good luck to Dan because this is the first time he's done something like this whereas Richard Griffiths is already a freakin stage god. So yeah.

Aw, man. How I'd love to attend! Ooh I really hope they film this play so the rest of the world can see it after they're done with it! So, Dan hasn't been doomed to forever being considered Harry Potter, only. He has definitely been expanding his roles. I'm proud, Dan-man. XP yup. You are having success not only as Harry, but as an actor. Hats off to you!

Alright, this is incredibly off-topic, but does anyone else think that is close to the grandest picture you have ever seen of Dan? I saw it and just about fell off of my chair!
