Equus

Post by jtaylor »

I went to see Equus last Wednesday.
Had heard really good things about it, but was still half expecting to be thinking "That's Harry Potter on stage" all the way through.
How wrong was I!

I felt Daniel Radcliffe did a stunning job as Alan Strang, and Richard Griffiths was superb....

Anyone else seen it?

Haven't seen it.

Did you see Danny Radcliffe on 'Jonathon Woss' on Friday night ?

What a lovely lad he seems to be. Not at all up his own @rse-ole, AND now worth over £6 million thanks to J.K.R. !

Yes, saw him on Woss - last time he was on he was rather manic (almost on speed!) but this time a little more relaxed.
Seems like a nice bloke.

He certainly doesn't act to type.

...... and another thing ! He doesn't have white-blonde hair !

Sorry to shatter your daughters' illusions.

Incidently, he LOVES course fishing !

Incidentally she knows he doesn't have white-blond hair. But he is very tall I believe (6'2"?) always an attraction for her.

Yes - He is tall, but I would dispute 6' 2".

I'm just over 6' 2" and I don't re-call him coming up to my height, albeit that was some time ago, now !

If the calibre of acting from Daniel Radcliffe is maintained into the last three Harry Potter films, they could be fantastic - certainly better than the somewhat stilting earlier films!

His IMDB bio says 6'1" so you are probably right. Enough now.

I think Cath has been taking JR's little blue pills judging by some of her recent comments. :lol:
