Alan Strang, the main character in the play, blinds seven horses with a spike and is sent to the psychiatrist Dr. Dysart for psychiatric treatment. As the conversation with Alan continues, Dysart starts to have skepticism about the treatment and a sense of loss. Praised as one of the best versions of Equus, a play originally written by Peter Shaffer, it depicts the perennial agony over God, humans, and sex and subconscious desire in-depth while contrasting normal society with passion and insanity, primitive desires. The dynamic tempo and energy of the play and the suspense based on a solid narrative capture the audience’s attention. The intense stage of Equus gives you a thrill and a feeling that you have never experienced before. 

Established in 1960, Shilhum Theatre Company has introduced and discovered numerous world masterpieces such as Equus, The Marriage of Figaro, Son of Man, Samsirang, Agnes of God, Doubt, The Trial, Jocasta, and The Gift of the Gorgon, in Korea since its foundation. Surpassing 10,000 audiences for the first time in Korea in 1970, the company has made Korean theater history. Shilhum Theatre Company has presented acclaimed plays more than 186 times and won several awards.
