I've no doubt the play seems a relic of its time ... but I don't see the need for every work of legitimate theater to be modern in its sensibilities. Some works are classics, and Equus is one of them.
But ... until reading that review, I had no idea that Uncle Vernon, Potter's muggle nemesis, plays the psychiatrist ... naked Radcliffe's foil and mentor-of-sorts. That kind of stunt casting just strikes me poorly in a serious work.
Not that naked Harry Potter didn't already take the seriousity down a peg or two.
