When teenager Alan Strang’s pathological fascination leads him to blind six horses in a Hampshire stable, psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart is tasked with uncovering the motive behind the boy’s violent act.
The creative team also includes designer Georgia Lowe, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer and sound designer Giles Thomas, choreographer and movement director Shelley Maxwell, associate director Denzel Westley-Sanderson, and casting director Anne McNulty.
