Eqqus rides into Harborough
Saturday 4th September sees Harborough Theatre, Church Square become the latest venue for one of Leicester’s leading amateur theatre companies – 11hr Productions, to stage their award winning performance of Peter Shaffer’s ‘Equus’.
Eighteen year old, Tom Clements plays Alan Strang, a young man who has a pathological religious/sexual fascination with horses. This gritty and provocative drama originally written in 1973 explores the struggles of both Strang and his psychiatrist, Dysart, played by John Lloyd, as they both come to terms with their demons.
The original production of ‘Equus’ played in London’s West End and then Broadway, won numerous awards, and was notably revived in 2007 for the West End with Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame, playing the lead role. Leicester’s 11hr Productions was awarded 3rd place overall in this year’s Leicester & Rutland Full Length Play Festival after their original show received rave reviews from audiences attending Leicester’s Y Theatre back in February.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this mesmerising production. Tickets are available for matinee and evening performances at just £10 each from www.11hrproductions.co.uk or by calling 0116 283 1646. They can also be purchased after 4th August from the District Council Offices, Adam and Eve Street, Market Harborough.
Please note that due to scenes of nudity and the adult nature of this play, it is not suitable for children.
