Equus Has Already Collected More Than 1 Million Dollars

Thanks to Alana from the blog "December Boys" we have a nice article about Dan's co-star in Equus, Will Kemp, who will play Nugget one of the horses blinded by Dan's character, also this article mention how much money Equus has collected so far on pre-sale tickets £600,000 ($1,184,591.78) more than 1 Million dollars, no bad for Dan's first project in theater and finally this article has great quotes from Director Thea Sharrock about Dan.

Here are a few quotes from this article:

"Kemp, who appeared as the Wolf Man in the movie Van Helsing and had performed in major ballet productions created by choreographer Matthew Bourne, suddenly became available to do Equus when a film was postponed."

"The play, which has sold £600,000 worth of tickets with minimal marketing, will begin rehearsals early in New Year, with Ms. Sharrock initially doing special sessions with Daniel and Richard Griffiths, who plays the psychiatrist who explores why the boy maimed the horses"

Thea Sharrock said:

"I want to have a very serious focus with Daniel and Richard before the room gets crowded"

"It's Daniel's first time on a dramatic stage. This isn't a vehicle created for Daniel. He auditioned and the best actor was picked. The fact that he also happens to be the actor who plays Harry Potter is beside the point"

"He [Dan] and I spend a lot of time examining the text because things are very different with a play than a movie"

Equus will run from February 16 at the Gielgud Theatre and is "expected to be one of the next year's major theatrical highlights.
