Summary/Abstract Tells the story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological religious fascination with horses. The child psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Dysart, tries to understand the cause of the boy's actions while wrestling with his own sense of purpose. Other religious and ritual sacrifice themes are discussed, including the manner in which the main character Alan Strang constructs a personal theology involving the horses and the supreme godhead, "Equus". In reference to the play's classical structure, themes and characterization, Shaffer has discussed the conflict between Apollonian and Dionysian values and systems in human life.
