Danny Coleman-Cooke reviews English Touring Theatre’s and Theatre Royal Stratford East’s revival of Peter Shaffer’s Equus as it starts a UK Tour.
English Touring Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East will present Peter Shaffer’s award-winning play Equus on tour. The Equus UK Tour plays from the 15 February – 11 May 2019.
For as long as there are families, this poignant script will resonate with them. The music plays somewhat apologetically from offstage, but despite that, it is a near perfect restoration that does justice to its stunning location at The Print Room Coronet.
It’s a smorgasbord of pratfalls and physical comedy…And a lot of it is genuinely funny, rip-roaring in fact.
The production has much to recommend it. It’s never dull, it’s beautiful to look at and watch and the writing has not lost any of its joy
