Equus to tour after West End closure in June
Equus, the West End play starring Richard Griffiths and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, is to close on June 9.
The production, which also features Jenny Agutter and Will Kemp, opened on February 27 and will close at the end of its season at the Gielgud Theatre. It will have recouped its entire capitalisation within eight weeks of opening. Day seats have now been made available for the rest of the West End run and go on sale at the box office at 10am each day.
Following the closure, the show is set to embark on a 12-week national tour, which will open at the Theatre Royal Bath on August 28, with casting to be announced. Meanwhile, a Broadway production will open in spring 2008, followed by an Australian production.
The production is directed by Thea Sharrock, designed by John Napier and produced by David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers.
