Equus

I went for the play "Equus" last week. I got all excited, yay a play. How long has it been since I have been to a proper play last? AGES! Exactly. Additionally, this lead role was performed by Daniel Radcliff *haaalllelujaaa* on broadway and he wouldn't perfom some dodgy play right? So I was quite psyched, but seriously sleep deprived. I went in there and thought to myself "yup! I can do this!" After about 30 minutes I had falled asleep about 3 times and the plot of the play was quite odd. The main actor had a sexual paraphilia and was obsessed with horses, the background performers were half naked (yes women and men both topless) dancing there in "horse-like" ways. I had no attention span really and could either focus on the play or the dancers, but not both. I opted for the dancers, because I didn't have to listen to the dancers talk, but could just zone out, plus their movements were quite interesting too. Anyhow, by the time Act II got around, the background dancers weren't the only one's naked anymore, but also the 2 actor's on stage. Pretty weird, especially because the actor with the sexual paraphilia heavily rubbed against the actor who represented his favourite horse ... NAKED! ... (yes no actual horses on stage, but people representing horses). He jumped and his manhood jumped *winkwink* and the horses jumped and somehow everyone/thing jumped. How annoying right? I have to face so much nudity. I work and have to shower people = naked. I go for culture outings = naked *aiyoo*. The main actor wasn't even hot. Plus he could have a) styled his pubic hair in some exciting way since he knew he was going to be on stage NAKED or b) at least shaped up!

But nooo, I expected this:


.... and I got this:

*yawwwn* boooriinggg ....

P.S.: While I was searching for the "Equus" pictures, I found another picture of probably an eastern interpretation of this play. AND I so think that the guy "riding the horse" in this case the guy with the sexual paraphilia looks just like Leox. I looked at this picture and thought "EHY! What's LEOX doing in this picture???"
