Peter Shaffer wrote Equus in 1973. Shaffer gained inspiration for the story after he read about a teenage boy near London who had blinded six horses. Fictionalizing what could have gone through the boys mind, Shaffer came up with the complex story of distraught Alan Strang, who has misplaced acts of religious worship and sexual conduct onto horses. Although the subject matter is a bit risqué, the play is done in taste and has received critical acclaim for its staging, acting, and direction.
In 1973, the play made its debut at the Royal National Theatre at the Old Vic in London. Alec McCowen took the role of Martin Dysart while Peter Firth starred in the role as Alan Strang. Both were under the direction of John Dexter. In 1975, Equus won a Tony Award for Best Play and direction. In 1976 the play moved over to the Albery Theatre with Colin Blakely replacing McCowen. It has also had a run on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre where Anthony Hopkins starred as Martin Dysart.
