Stroke the Mane
When I saw this article on Yahoo, I just HAD to blog on it. I’ve always had a soft spot for all things “Harry Potter,” which is why when I logged into Yahoo to check my boss’ e-mail for him today, I was quite surprised when my eyes came across this little article. Seems that Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, will be strutting more than just his stuff on stage in London:
Daniel Radcliffe will strip off his Harry Potter eyeglasses and robes for his London stage debut next year.
Really? I’ll bet ‘tween girls in London will be picking up fake IDs left and right just to get into this performance.
The 17-year-old actor, who plays the bespectacled schoolboy wizard in the Hollywood adaptations of J.K. Rowling's novels, will star as a troubled stableboy in Peter Shaffer's "Equus."
The play delves into the psyche of a boy named Alan Strang who blinds six horses with a metal spike. The production is scheduled to open next March in the West End theater district, said spokesman Peter Thompson.
"It is an extraordinary play, and he's very much looking forward to the role," Radcliffe's spokeswoman, Vanessa Davies, said Friday. "He is maturing as an actor and beginning to take on new and challenging roles."
I remember watching the DVD of “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” In the interviews with the actors, Radcliffe told a story about one of his fans, “The towel girl,” who was crazy enough to show up outside his hotel wearing nothing but a towel and proclaiming her love for “Harry.” No doubt about it, she’ll enjoy watching him “mature as an actor” in this next little scene tidbit.
In one scene the actor playing Strang is required to simulate sexual ecstasy while riding a horse naked. But Davies said nudity was not the focus of the play.
Well, THAT’s good to hear. Although I still think Harry Potter girl fans will be lining up just for that part.
Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry's Uncle Vernon in the films, is lined up to play the psychiatrist who interviews the troubled youth.
This is just too funny for words. I can imagine the script already:
Psychiatrist: What happened between you and that horse?
Strang: I don’t know! I was just riding the horse and it felt great! It was like magic!
Psychiatrist: There’s no such thing as magic!
