So Erika and I went to go see the theatre production of "Equus" last night. For those of you not familiar with the newly released London play, it's about a boy who is kind of crazy and ends up blinding 6 horses with a metal pick. Most of the play is about his interactions with his new psychologist. Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe plays the boy. If you're not familiar with Harry Potter than where the hell have you been for the last decade?
Anyway, the play ended up being pretty good regardless of Harry Potter and the play's way of romanticizing mental illness was very cool to me. There was also the whole naked scene...
Yep, that's right boys and girls, the innocent little wizard gets buck naked in the final scene (along with his naked female costar) and prances around the stage like a Centaur in the Forbidden Forest. And lemme tell ya people, Harry Potter was indeed "hairy"! Man, it was like he had his own forbidden forest down there.
Surprisingly enough, no one yelled "Accio Erectus!" (Gabe gets props for that one) when the Hogwarts soon-to-be graduate stripped down. In fact, everyone actually seemed to be paying attention to the play. I know they were just pretending though because earlier I had heard more than one remark of: "I wonder how big his willy is?" coming from daft old British women. Perverts!
Anyway, the play was well worth the money we spent and we had pretty good seats for it. If anyone ever comes to London in the next few months while it's still running - go see Equus. You may never get another chance to see this horse-love themed production in quite the same way.

Forest is no surprise given those out of control eyebrows that are furry creatures all on their own. I won't comment on the size of anything else.
I can't believe you saw Harry Potter naked! You lucky duck! JK, but really I did want to see the play...don't think I can make it to London, though.
Maybe in May?
