| Alan Strang, who in most ways seems a perfectly normal seventeen-year-old, is placed under psychiatric observation after he blinds six horses with a hoof pick. Psychiatrist Martin Dysart has to pick apart just why this healthy boy wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. Peter Shaffer's psychological drama is best remembered for the tense 1977 film with Richard Burton. Its return to the West End is driven by the star power of the world's most famous teenage actor: Daniel Radcliffe plays the troubled adolescent, with Richard Griffiths as his sympathetic shrink. The play has not, if truth be told, dated very well. It is still sinister, especially at its moments of high drama, when Radcliffe reveals that he truly can act, and it remains a grippingly unpleasant story, but the relentless emphasis on psychobabble starts to grate pretty heavily after a while. A compelling drama, nonetheless, and worth seeing if you're desperate to see the boy wizard's willy. |
