- Equus follows the story of psychologist Martin Dysart as he attempts to treat Alan, a young man who has a pathological, religious, and sexual fascination with horses. Shaffer was inspired to write Equus when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who had blinded six horses in a small town near London. He set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any details of the crime. The play's action is something of a detective story, as Dysart tries to understand the cause of the boy's actions while wrestling with his own sense of purpose.
