false 334286 21 An explosive play that took critics and audiences by storm, Equus is Peter Shaffer's exploration of the way modern society has destroyed our ability to feel passion. Alan Strang is a disturbed youth whose dangerous obsession with horses leads him to commit an unspeakable act of violence. As psychiatrist Martin Dysart struggles to understand the motivation for Alan's brutality, he is increasingly drawn into Alan's web and eventually forced to question his own sanity. Equus is a timeless classic and a cornerstone of contemporary drama that delves into the darkest recesses of human existence. 950109 book 1973 Equus total:1632|5:588|4:579|3:332|2:103|1:30| 1632 6488 2051 143 2 1 false false Sat Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 10:34:41 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 10:35:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sat Jun 16 15:53:43 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 16 16:02:16 -0700 2007
