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.

Yeah the whole ocean apart thing kind of stinks...but I'm sure I'll hear about it and see things from it online...still not the same, but I'll get by.
Hmmm...purhaps HPANA might want to get thier hands on some tickets...would make for a good contest maybe.

I have never ever heard of that movie before. I wonder what 'equus' is about. I'd kinda like to know more about it.

Aww, this is just so WRONG! Why oh why can't they play it in the US too? I am soooo dying to see that play!
Hermione's younger sister Equus is a play, not a movie.
PS: sorry for the double-post, just wanted to clarify that.

I'd love to see this performance, because it would be great to see Dan on stage as opposed to the screen, and also to see him in a role that is so completely different from Harry Potter. As Dan says, this role will really stretch him as an actor and it will give us all some idea of his range.

It is great to hear Dan is really excited about his new roll in 'Equus'. I think he is already a wonderful actor, so to have him spread his wings is great for his career.

I wish I could go see the production. I wish Dan luck on this role, it sounds awfully different from the Harry part. And anyone that's going, hope you have a great time!

I honestly can say, that I will live if I don't see this play. I don't know the whole set-up seems strange to me...oh well, more power to them I guess. Later!
