All Grown Up

Wowzers. Check out Daniel Radcliffe in these pics! I feel kind of embarassed looking at those pictures because I’ve always seen him as like.. a little boy. I almost feels pervy looking at him half nekked!

But no, I am not one of those people who is completely enraged he’s going to be all nekked in this play. I mean come on people. He can’t stay Harry Potter forever. He can’t stay a child forever. He’s an actor! He must move on!

Anyway…

the play sounds interesting.

Shaffer was inspired to write his play when he heard of a crime involving a teenage boy’s apparently senseless mutilation of horses. He then set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any of the details of the crime. The play is posited as a kind of postmodern detective story.

17-year-old Alan Strang is brought to a mental health facility for treatment by Dr Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist.

Delving into Alan’s tormented mind causes Dysart to confront his own spiritual atrophy, the result of a modern consumer culture that tolerates only enervated conformity.

I’d watch it if it ever came around my neighborhood =)
