Product Description:
This volume is part of a series of novels, plays and stories intended for use at A Level. The complete, original text is accompanied by an introduction, activities for before, during and after study, as well as notes. Teenager Alan Strang, fought over by a religious mother and an atheist father, finds release in horses. But something drives him to blind the horses with a spike. While treating the boy, a psychiatrist discovers his own life is paradoxically in the witness box. This savage, passionate play pinpoints the modern human spiritual quest.

Truth be told, I got interested in the play because of Dan Radcliffe. Initially, the plot descriptions I had read didn't interest me that much. However, curiousity prevailed, and I am so grateful that I bought it.
It is an extremely thought provoking drama detailing the story of a therapist and his patient. Under close scrutiny, it brings to light the darker and more mysterious aspects of the human psyche, ethics, and the effects that parents could possibly have on their children.
I have only had the play for two weeks, and I have read it many times over. It is easy to read, yet the mental images it gives to the reader are astounding. I thoroughly recommend this book for ANYONE who enjoys theatre, particularly drama that has more beyond it's surface. This is a play that will stand up with the best of of them. From "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams to "Tartuffe" by Jean Baptiste Moliere, this is a play worth reading and performing over and over again.

This amazing play weaves an incredibly in-depth psyhchological mystery from a very minimalist set. The characters seem to jump from the book directly to your imagination. It's a great story that's hard to put down.

This play very first came to my attention when I received information about Daniel Radcliffe starring in it this spring in London. I decided to read the play when I found that the summary appealed to me. I was not disappointed with my choice- it is really quite intriguing trying to understand Alan's crime, and then later to find it is really about the psychiatrist's internal conflict between right and wrong.
