Equus (On Broadway)




I just saw Equus last night, and I had Stage Seats! They were actually really good because you get to look down on the play like in an amphitheatre! It was brilliant! Richard Griffiths was rivoting, and Daniel was very powerful in the role. I've heard and seen reviews from other people claiming his performance wasnt all that great, but I beg to differ! And I love the fact that when they took their curtain call, the acknowledged the stage seats as well with a bow! That was fun, as they waved to each of our sections in turn in earnest. And afterward, because we were in stage seats and got out long after the barracades had filled with fans waiting to have autographs and photos, I went across the street to wait, and hope I could get a picture at least from a distance. Dan came out first and signed a few autographs, smiled, let people snap photos, and generally talked to people. He seemed very cordial, and happy to see everyone outside. As I headed down the block (since I wasnt getting an autograph, I left) I made it to the corner, and looked back and saw him get into the car to be driven off. As the car pulled to the corner, I waved, and I could just barely make out 2 waving hands through front of the car as I passed in front to cross the street. That was very nice of him.

As for the play itself, it was very interesting!
