#26 re: Seeing Equus With My 8 Year Old Niece and Nephew Posted: 1/30/07 at 11:26am Guys I want to clear something up. I'm not just bringing one 8 year old. Ok? I'm bringing two. BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

#30 re: Seeing Equus With My 8 Year Old Niece and Nephew Posted: 1/30/07 at 12:37pm Frankly I think they'll be bored. Shaffer is such an over-rated playwright. I understand there's a Sarah Kane revival opening soon- that would be much more challenging.

#35 re: Seeing Equus With My 8 Year Old Niece and Nephew Posted: 1/30/07 at 2:04pm Well, if they have already seen Spring Awakening (and did not like it) and if they loved Virginia Wolf... I say take them, they have good taste!
#36 re: Seeing Equus With My 8 Year Old Niece and Nephew Posted: 1/30/07 at 2:14pm Ourtime, that is a great article! Ohhhh brilliant.
