NOTES Regretfully less intensive than the play. A middle-aged

psychiatrist takes on the task of finding out why a seventeen

year old boy blinded six horses. Long speeches, slow pace,

some odd reasoning, plus relating the case to Greek myths

will put many off. But a great cast and the exposition of some

unusual ideas will leave an impression on others.

Contains full frontal male nudity.

Fom the play by Peter Shaffer.
