Daniel Radcliffe may find that the audience is a little too close for comfort when he performs a sensational nude scene on stage in the West End next year.
Sixty people from the audience will actually be seated on stage when the Harry Potter star, in his role as the troubled groomsman Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer’s celebrated play Equus, simulates a sex act while naked and astride a horse. The play, which also stars Richard Griffiths, will be performed in the round for 16 weeks at the Gielgud Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, with previews starting on February 16 and an official opening night planned for February 27.
The rest of the audience will have to be content with watching Daniel, 17, from the stalls and the circle – but I predict that those 60 seats on stage are going to be the most sought-after seats in London.
Tickets will not go on sale at the Gielgud for a while. In any case, Equus will open after Frost/Nixon, which is being transferred from the Donmar Warehouse Theatre, completes a limited run.
John Napier, the awardwinning designer of the original production of Equus four decades ago, has been lured from his studio in East Sussex by producer David Pugh to create a set for the new production, which will be directed by Thea Sharrock.
The nude scene was a coup de theatre in the original production when Peter Firth (spy chief Harry Pearce in the brilliant Bafta-winning Spooks on BBC television) played the Alan Strang role. Firth also did a screen version with Richard Burton.
Radcliffe, who is finishing work on Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, shooting scenes with Ralph Fiennes as the evil Voldemort, has been studying the play for more than a year.
The Daily Mail was the first to reveal that the teenager was considering making his dramatic debut on the London stage – although at the time no one realised just how dramatic his performance would be.
In the play, Strang is institutionalised for blinding six horses with a groom’s spike. Griffiths will play Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist who begins a psychological and spiritual investigation into what drove the young man to commit the cruel acts.
Griffiths, who has shed three stone in weight, recently completed a sellout run on Broadway with the original National Theatre cast of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys.
The movie version opens in cinemas today and Griffiths is tipped for possible Orange, Bafta and Academy Award nominations for his performance.
He and Daniel know each other well: he plays Harry’s horrible Uncle Vernon in the Potter pictures.
Director Sharrock and producer Pugh will cast the remaining Equus roles over the next few weeks and begin rehearsals on January
Nothing creepier to me this morning than the thought of having to see little Harry Potter (aka actor Daniel Radcliffe) in the buff.
Harry is stripping down for a role in a London play called Equus, which is about a disturbed kid who blinds horses. I’m talking full-frontal.
For the folks out there who are into the boy toys – I’m sure Demi isn’t the only one — the show begins previews on Feb. 16 — but don’t bother bringing your camera to capture Harry’s manhood for posterity. Pictures aren’t allowed in any London theaters and a show spokesman says the staff will be “extra vigilant” about it for Equus.
Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter, has chosen to make his London stage debut wearing nothing! Daniel Radcliffe has been cast to play the stable boy in Equus, Peter Shaffer’s controversial drama about a boy’s erotic relationship with horses. The show is due to open in London’s West End in early 2007.
Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, at the centre of a raging race row, has been crowned the winner of British reality television show Celebrity Big Brother.
The 31-year-old Indian actress burst into tears on hearing she had won the public vote.
The experience on the Channel 4 show had been “incredible and overwhelming”, she said after winning the show last night.
Asked about the race row by host Davina McCall, Shilpa insisted ringleader Jade Goody “didn’t mean to be racist”.
Shilpa was the firm favourite to win the contest, considered the most controversial in the show’s history after she became the victim of alleged racist bullying by fellow contestant Goody.
The Bollywood actress profusely thanked the public for a “fantastic opportunity to make my country proud”.
Runner-up Jermaine Jackson, the brother of pop star Michael, said he was “very happy” as he departed the house.
Former beauty queen Danielle Lloyd, one of the contestants implicated in the racist abuse, earlier apologised for her remarks to Shetty.
Lloyd, 23, and fellow evictee Jack Tweed were greeted with heavy booing as they left the house in the first round of evictions held during the final show last night.
Both were upset when shown footage of their behaviour towards Shetty, whose treatment at the hands of some of her housemates sparked a global race row.
“I feel terrible,” said Lloyd. Tweed, boyfriend of Jade Goody, said it had nothing to do with skin colour.
Both model Lloyd and Tweed were implicated in the race row, alongside singer Jo O’Meara.
Lloyd immediately apologised for her behaviour towards Shilpa in an interview with host Davina McCall. Lloyd said her remarks had been made “in the heat of the moment.”
“I wasn’t laughing at Shilpa… it was just nerves,” said Lloyd. “I hate confrontation.”
Asked what she had learned on the show, Lloyd said: “Not to be such a bitch.”
The contestants had been locked up in a house since January 2 and were filmed on how well they handle the frictions of daily life and get their fellow housemates’ votes of confidence.
On Friday, former S Club 7 star Jo O’Meara, after her eviction, denied that she was racist. “It’s not because I’m racist at all. I think she’s a very beautiful, very elegant woman. I can’t say I am sorry for something I am not guilty of.”
Singer Ian ‘H’ Watkins, the third person to be evicted in the final show, told McCall that he felt “completely out of my depth” when fighting in the house was at its most intense.
“I just think I’ve led a very sheltered life and I just back away from things like that
