“Equus” Sets Broadway Dates
It’s official: the eagerly awaited revival of “Equus,” which was a hit at London’s Gielgud Theatre, will arrive on Broadway at a Shubert theatre to be announced in September 2008.
According to a casting notice, the revival of the Peter Shaffer work will begin performances on Broadway Sept. 25, 2008, for a limited engagement through Feb. 8, 2009. Thea Sharrock, who directed the London company, will direct in New York as well; rehearsals begin Aug. 11.
The casting notice once again confirms that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Richard Griffiths (Tony winner for “The History Boys”), who played to sold-out crowds in the London revival, will reprise their work for Broadway audiences. Radcliffe will star as Alan Strang with Griffiths as Dr. Martin Dysart.
