You can't turn down Equus. I think Macauley Culkin did Equus. Tom Hulce did I know. It's a starring role in a great classic play. He may. . .ah. . .flop, of course, but he's got to take the risk.
You know, I saw Equus, and was not all that impressed. Yes, there were naked people on stage. It seems like it must've been big when it came out; sensational, and full of the sort of pop psychology that had become a staple by the 80s.
A friend that I saw the show with wrapped the sheet music to the doublemint gum jingle into my Christmas gift that year, hee hee.
"Daniel Whositz Lands Lead Role in Revival of EFFING EQUUS, also starring Sir Muckety Muck as the psychiatrist and directed by acclaimed West End Hoity Toy X. The play concerns a young man's struggle with sexuality, passion and the modern world, and will require Mr. Whositsz to appear nude in a climactic scene." - the daily rb
