So who's seen the promotional stills from the EQUUS revival?

Who else should be put in jail immediately?

For those of you who haven't had the (rather pedophiliac) pleasure: [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]

Number 2 is my personal favorite. Keep scrolling down.

I mean, I admire Daniel Radcliffe for wanting to take on a challenging role. And I admire the producers for knowing well enough that they'll sell out tickets within fifteen minutes. However, don't the promotional photos seem a little bit, well, exploitative? I know that EQUUS is ultimately a play about psychosexual dysfunction and therefore, the naked physique would be a central part of that theme. But, erm, naked boys and horses? Their promotional photos are getting uncomfortably close to centerfold material.

Eh gad. Excuse me. I need to go blind myself with a large spike . . . sort of like those horses in EQUUS.

I even uploaded some music in honor of this occassion: Hermione's Song (as sung by Dumbledore)
