entirely engrossing... this Equus is one for the ages. Don’t miss it Diana Simmonds
captivating from the opening moments to the final scene… Brockman emerges as a director with a sharp vision; this is confronting, beautiful, and provoking theatre at its best. Suzy Wrong
Remarkable, Confronting, and Provoking Theatre Theatre Thoughts
This is what Sydney theatre needs more of and marks Brockman as a director of note… This is Brockman as full auteur, reshaping the text as boldly as the visuals. The beauty of the intimate KXT space is you can watch every thought and emotion flash across his face, the centrepiece of the whole story. A confident, bold revisioning. Cultural Binge
I can promise you this: you won't forget you saw it John Shand, SMH
After 17 year old Alan blinds six horses, psychologist Martin Dysart is tasked with finding out the motive. As Dysart digs deeper into Alan’s fractured inner world, he is drawn into a mind shaped by raw sexuality, religious fervor, obsession, and repression—forcing him to question not only his patient, but his own carefully ordered life.
Under the visionary direction and design of BROCKMAN (Sydney Theatre Award Winner: Constellations, Metamorphoses), this is Equus as you’ve never seen it before. A gripping exploration of passion, fatness, fetishisation, and the price of normality, this production challenges audiences to confront what it truly means to heal—and what might be lost in the process.
