I see reteva has already answered your questions, but I wanted to add my two cents. I've seen the play...twice, in fact, it was my first Broadway play. Radcliffe is phenomenally good in the role of Alan Strang. Although I believe he has grown as an actor with each subsequent Potter film, his performance on Broadway is simply spectacular! I could not believe my eyes. Equus opened in late September (the 25th or 26th, I think) and has been seen by literally thousands of people and similarly reviewed. So it surprises me that you do not know that 1) real horses are not used and 2) the nudity is blatant...not blocked by any props or stage element. He and his female costar are bared for all to see, but it comes at such a pivotal and emotional moment in the play that it is the LAST thing you will be focusing on. He is a talented actor who remains eager to learn and dedicated to his craft. As of this post, he has yet to miss a performance (that's 8 shows a week) which I find very impressive. Dan recently said he hopes the Broadway community will be a part of his life forever and I hope I'll be there to see him when he takes to the stage again.
