PRESS  RELEASE

Jeff Recommended EQUUS by Peter Shaffer
extended through Sunday May 13


The gods of “passion” and “normal” battle it out for the soul of an intense,
troubled teen in Peter Shaffer’s modern psychological thriller

The Play
Peter Shaffer’s unique modern thriller, which explores the boundaries of passion versus normalcy, will be produced in the cozy intimacy of AWT’s storefront space, using a minimalist yet highly theatrical staging. The play, rooted in both modern psychology and ancient ritual, dissects the everlasting human need of worship. The use of stylized masks, creative lighting, and an original score will enhance what is sure to be an intense and electrifying theatre experience of this respected and esoteric drama.

Please note: The play includes adult language and nudity. Mature audiences only.
