Alrighty I'm back and a bit confused -as usual-. Anyways I got an e-mail saying that Daniel Radcliffe is to be- well I can't explain it but here is what got e-malied to me...
Daniel Radcliffe will strip off his Harry Potter eyeglasses and robes for his London stage debut next year.
The 17-year-old actor, who plays the bespectacled schoolboy wizard in the Hollywood adaptations of J.K. Rowling's novels, will star as a troubled stable boy in Peter Shaffer's "Equus."
The play delves into the psyche of a boy named Alan Strang who blinds six horses with a metal spike. The production is scheduled to open next March in the West End theater district, said spokesman Peter Thompson.
"It is an extraordinary play, and he's very much looking forward to the role," Radcliffe's spokeswoman, Vanessa Davies, said Friday. "He is maturing as an actor and beginning to take on new and challenging roles."
In one scene the actor playing Strang is required to simulate sexual ecstasy while riding a horse naked. But Davies said nudity was not the focus of the play.
Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry's Uncle Vernon in the films, is lined up to play the psychiatrist who interviews the troubled youth.
And I've never heard of this play before.. Oh well my thoughts on this is as follows:
-cricket noises-
You see?! I don't know what to think!! Truthfully I can't imagine him doing that, but this will be a bit more challenging for him I bet. People keep saying that he ".. is a role model for children almost all across England.. To think him doing that!" At least thats whats my aunt said.. Tell me what you think..!
Riku
P.S. And if you see the play tell me about it!
;D
;D
