PRODUCTION DATE: April 1988
DIRECTED BY: Charles Lewis
STAGED: Martlets Hall, Burgess Hill
SYNOPSIS:Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses. To the owner of the horses the horror is simple: he was unlucky enough to employ a "loony.'
To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses and, although Dora Strang may be a slightly overindulgent mother and Frank Strang a slightly tetchy father, they both love their son
To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle to be untangled to alleviate pain or, given his profession, that is what it ought to be. As it turns out, it is something far more complex and disturbing.
PLAYWRIGHT: Peter Shaffer (born May 15, 1926) is an English dramatist, author of numerous award-winning plays, several of which have been filmed.
BHTC NOTES: Two awards were won from the Mid Sussex Times for this production: Best Producer / Director - Charles Lewis & Best Actor - Geoff Braman (See Article Below).
