The magistrate's name is spelled "Hesther Saloman", in the box to the right and at the end of the article it is misspelled. LovelyLillith (talk) 01:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The main article body appears to have been unprotected, but the box on the right side stating the author and character names remains protected (I tried to correct the typo in it tonight and was unable to do so). I'm not sure if I should reactivate the editprotected banner so I will see if there is a response or unprotection before doing so. LovelyLillith (talk) 04:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not seeing anything in the protection log; I went ahead and made the change, but you should be able to edit the article normally - and I'm seeing some IPs who have done so in the past week. If IPs can edit an article, it's not protected at all. It's possible you just had a run of bad luck with some database errors (which are becoming more frequent these days). In any event, I corrected the two "Hester"s that I could find. Best, UltraExactZZ  Claims ~ Evidence  12:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Typos

message: This play is considered a literary masterpiece and has been acclaimed all over the world as such. The idea that at this late date it needs any "advertisement" and the thought that using encomiastic language about it constitutes some sort of commercial for it merely shows the vulgarity of some of the people who write in this site—as in the original article, where much was made of the play's "plot", as if it were popular fiction.
People who do not know the  ways of literary criticism should abstain.yo yo yo
How about all the trivia about "who's who" of actors who have been in the play?   It is been so widely played that it might be easier to list all actors who have NOT been in this play.    This "revival" section has a lot of self-promotion in it.   I recommend stick with the plot and the original cast.   The movie should have its own page since the page title is "Equus (play)". --74.107.74.39 (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a big chunk of plot summary missing - the section reads like it's composed of beginning and end paragraphs, with the middle deleted. I haven't seen or read the play, so can somebody who has take a look at it? ShaleZero 18:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Subject & Significance

message: I flew to London in May 2007 and saw Daniel in two performances; his portrayal of "Alan Strang" was critically acclaimed by the London Press and discussion is underway to bring "Equus" to Broadway in late spring of 2008, with Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths reprising their roles. 
Playwright, Peter Shaffer, will only authorize the play's transfer to Broadway if Daniel reprises the "Alan Strang" role. Both Daniel and Richard Griffiths have indicated their interest in doing a Broadway run.  
Scheduling must be worked out so that a projected Broadway production coincides with the 2008 Tony Awards.  The latest information that I read was that nine producers are vying for the play, and financial backing is  in place. It's all about the timing now because of the Tony's.
Sources for this information include www.playbill.com and www.broadway.com, as well as recent interviews with Daniel Radcliffe, post London production.

I like the way this implies that Daniel Radcliffe's career is over. --61.214.155.14 00:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prognostication 

message: Removed the following bit of info originating from the tabloid Daily Mail, and subsequently refuted through other media sources:
>>
The show has recently extended through the Autumn in London, with Billy Elliot film star Jamie Bell taking on the role of Alan Strang from 16 June 2007, replacing Daniel Radcliffe. Other casting has yet to be confirmed for the extended run.
<<
Bottom line - there's no point to such speculation until the play's own official website bothers to update itself.  You'd think they'd manage to find some way to sell tickets for additional shows if they were serious about staging them. Daniloc 20:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extended run under Revivals section 

message: I have read this play for acting and do not see that the fascination with Horses can be boiled down to sexuality. He worships the Horses as gods: while sexual feelings are included in his reverence, it is not however the root of his feelings.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.161.100 (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sexual Content 

message: I watched the Daily 10 (not a exactly a respected and established news source, I know) and there was an insinuation that the current revival of Equus on Broadway isn't exactly doing all that great. Is the play successful or not? Is it a financial flop? Crackthewhip775 (talk) 04:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Success or flop? 

message: Near the end of the plot summary, a paragraph begins with "Dysart gives Alan a placebo "truth pill" and revealing a tryst with Jill, begins to enact the event". The sentence states that Dysart had the tryst with Jill, but the rest of the paragraph strongly implies that it was actually Alan who had the tryst.
I don't know the actual plot, so I can't do the edit myself, but if I'm right, the sentence should be something like the following:
After being given a placebo "truth pill" by Dysart, Alan reveals a tryst with Jill and begins re-enacting the event.

message: Randy Harrison played Allan Strang in a 2005 Berkshire Theatre Festival performance of "Equus".
Is this sufficient to have it included in the revivals section, given the theatrical stature of Randy?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.3.159.239 (talk) 06:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
