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

Who else should be put in jail immediately?

I just feel . . . awkward looking at them. And it's not that I don't support Daniel Radcliffe's right to appear naked onstage. When they first announced that he might be appearing in this role on playbill.com, I couldn't have been more excited. I just look at those promotional photos and imagine this 40-something male producer, sitting behind his desk and looking at the prints, telling his co-workers: "Now, THAT'S going to sell tickets. Any chance that we could take off more clothes?"

I just wish that the promotional photos were a bit more interested in the STORYLINE of the production instead of the nudity. I mean, where's Richard Griffiths? He's one of the central characters and yet he doesn't appear in any of the promotional photos. Instead, we get Daniel Radcliffe -- naked with palimino. And is there a reason why he's not wearing clothes in ANY of the promotional photos? (Well, except for that clingy pair of jeans, of course.) Besides, aren't those photos like SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't read/seen the play? Aren't we not supposed to KNOW why Alan Strang went into the barn and blinded the horses? I don't know. I'm conflicted on how I'm feeling about the marketing campaign.

However, the POSTER design is the most amazing thing that I've ever seen. I want a copy hanging on my bedroom wall. Believe me, if I had the spare change in my bank account, I'd be buying my ticket tomorrow (along with the plane ticket, the hotel room, the metro pass . . .).
