Harriet MacDonald Eggers, The Tab, 16th February 2022
'Peter Shaffer’s 1973 play gains new life under the direction of Aoife Pallister Begadon, whose tastefully subtle production allows the actors to take the reins of their characters, providing the audience with an unforgettably powerful show.'
Joshua Bumring-Gledhill, The Cambridge Student, 16th February 2022
Ultimately, this production of Equus is a thrilling and exhilarating watch that very often leaves you on the edge of your seat. I was often transfixed by the central dynamic between Alan and Dysart and was very impressed by how well the production team had realised Shaffer’s complex and difficult script.
