Horsies

So I went to Broadway for the first time last night. I won tickets by raising the most money for my school's show, and I took one of my friends to see Equus, majorly because she wanted to see Daniel Radcliffe naked. Which he was. I won't spoil it for you, but I did like the show. The storyline was totally weird (kid gets sexual with a horse, then stabs it and five others in the eyes), but it was really cool to watch. The set was very simple, but whoever thought of it is totally brilliant. There were four pillars on a center platform (which rotated) that were rearranged to make tables, chairs, ward cells, haybales, everything. It really was masterfully done.

I had a nice time, and I think she did too.

Nice title.

The set sounds interesting. I wonder what's going to happen to Broadway sets as there's less and less money for elaborate changes.

Minimalist sets rock.
