i just don't think it got the kind of critical reception in the press that they were aiming for, to be honest.
when the buzz reads more like "hey did anyone notice anna camp has no pubic hair" rather than "hey did anyone notice how brilliant that play was" then they probably missed their mark slightly.
well at least anna got a role on a hit hbo show now :) good for her.

Oh, 2 other questions, anyone know when the show ends for good?
And have the understudies been called on for any performances that anyone has seen? Come to think of it, who is Radcliffes understudy, and Camps, and Griffiths? Anyone know? It must be so hard to be an understudy for Radcliffe and Camp, what with the nudity demands and all.

I guess I agree with "dramamama611". It's not a matter of it ruining the scene, but when something drastic is not period accurate, you kind of break the illusion, now in this case its something completly ridiculas like her lack of pubic hair, but it would be the same thing as if he were to whip out an ipod or something, it just doesnt fit with the story.

Wow, thanks for all the advise guys. I think I may go see it after all.
By the way, just picked up the sunday edition of that local paper that had the review I posted in it, and apparently my local reviewer was so offended at Anna's decision to be "modern" that he felt the need to ammend his blurb from last week to include this:
"And shame on the director for allowing an actress to appear on stage devoid of any sign that shes a woman and not a girl."
And this reviewer

I've seen mixed reviews, so I figure you people here, know your stuff. Is Equus worth the hype? Or should I spend my money on something else? I did see Anna Camp in The Country Girl and loved that, but this is obviously a different type of experience by far.
And this is what it says in my local theatre review, it's very cryptic, can anyone explain what this means to me please.
