I saw bits & pieces of this movie when it first came out & very recently picked the play up at a library sale. I was prompted to read it because of a book club I am part of - we were challenged to read outside our normal genre. Scripts are unique in that they require so much more from their reader. You have to consider the stage directions very seriously & put real effort into envisioning the playwright’s vision. Equus was so well done that I found I was flying through the reading of this script. Visions of stables, god-like horses and the repressed were easy to conjure. I think this subject could easily have been offered up for the voyeuristically depraved, however, the inclusion of the psychologist's own suffering makes for an interesting psychological study.
