Equus

A difficult, intense play about a difficult, intense boy whose unhealthy psychosexual fascination with horses results in a shocking crime—and leads him to the care of a difficult, intense psychiatrist. Zack Myers is a vulnerable and angry boy, while Richard Spierto owns the show as a man in a crisis nearly as catastrophic as that of his patient. Definitely worth the drive to Roseville. F, Sa 8pm. Through 1/29. No one under 17 admitted. $8-$10.
