Crube Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5223520.stm Naked stage role for Potter star Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe is to appear on the London stage next year, playing a stable boy who has an erotic relationship with his horses. Richard Griffiths will co-star in the revival of Peter Shaffer's 1973 play Equus, to open in the capital in March. Radcliffe and Griffiths are currently shooting the fifth Harry Potter film. The role will require Radcliffe, 17, to appear naked and symbolically blind six horses. Richard Burton and Peter Firth starred in the 1977 film version. Firth played disturbed stable boy Alan Strang in the original London stage production and later on Broadway. Equus will be directed by Thea Sharrock, director of the Gate fringe theatre in Notting Hill, west London. The controversial play marks a departure for Radcliffe, whose only previous stage appearance in London was as a guest star in The Play What I Wrote, directed by Kenneth Branagh. He recently completed filming December Boys, an independent Australian film about four orphans growing up in the 1960s. _____________________ It's quite a daring move, hopefully it should silence his neighsayers.

Ceraziefish Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Equus is a really, really good play. I read it in my senior english class. Link to comment

Yes, he does get naked, and he does ride the horses, but the horses aren't actually horses. They're actors wearing costumes that are intentionally unrealistic. One of the big plot points is before the action starts he stabbed a horse's eyes out with a stake or something. Link to comment

uniform_motion Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 An outside oven thing would kind of resemble a horse and shit, so I guess he's training. xD Either way, he has an odd habit of letting half naked pictures of himself show up on the internet. A habit that I admire, I guess. Link to comment
