I also thought the EQUUS windowcards were really high priced. I expected about $100. Also, I dont know how other posters feel, but sometimes after an intense show like EQUUS or SEAGULL, it really breaks the mood to for the actors to go right into the hawking of merchandise. I sometimes feel like a stage manager or chorus should come out. Seeing Daniel Radcliffe acting like Vanna White and bouncing around while I was still reeling from the show was a little disconcerting. I would have walked out (for those of you who would tell me to just leave) but I couldnt get out-it was too crowded and I was too close to the front of the theatre.)
It's not that I so bothered by it, but it certainly interrupts some of the more intense, visceral responses to theatre that are there when you go out and wander into the street after a performance still with your suspension of disbelief intact.
