Equus Suucks

It probably doesn't really come as a surprise to anyone, but the first thought in my head after coming out of the performance of "Equus" was: If a normal casting was held, I am convinced that scores of people, with acting abilities far surpassing those of Daniel Radcliffe would be found.

He was "overcharging" from start to finish and covering his lack of acting skill, by being over the top.

This sad spectacle has been created for two purposes only:

a) To earn bucketloads of cash, because of the Harry Potter's celebrity appearance
b) To give Daniel Radcliffe "credibility" so that he can say "Look I did a play, I'm a real actor now."

As for the play itself, I would like to see this kind elaborately artificial, "theatrical" drama consigned to the dustbin of history. It was like watching a museum deposit.

The only reason why this particular piece of writing has been chosen, seems to be the fact that a young male is its main protagonist, and there aren't any other characters in the limelight, bar the psychiatrist who keeps interacting with Radcliffe most of the time. Nobody to upstage our precious star.

All in all, an absolute disaster.
