hello
i don't post here often, but today i went to actually see the play today so i thought i'd post my review
the play is about a psychiatrist (Richard Griffiths) who is assigned Alan Strang (Daniel Radcliffe), a teenage boy who has just scraped the eyes out of six horses. The psychiatrist is trying to find out why he did it whilst at the same time trying to deal with his own inadequacies.
Typically there would be an intense scene that had you on the edge of your seat followed by a a slightly boring section (which was more often than not a monologue by Richard Griffiths) and then back to a good bit again.
the lighting was exceptional imo, it really helped to aid the storytelling. One moment you were with Alan and Dr Dysart in a dank cold "cell" then the next moment you're on the beach reliving a family holiday.
Daniel Radcliffes acting was pretty good i thought. At the start i thought it was quite cute telling Richard Griffiths to fuck off lol, but as the play developed you started to forget that he was harry potter and that he is playing a crazed horse lover.
yeah so thats my take on it
