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.
