Potter star's nude stage debut

哈利·波特的扮演者、小童星丹尼尔·瑞德克利夫的西区首演对其将有重大的转折性意义——他将在剧中全裸出演。

英国报纸《每日邮报》报道瑞德克利夫已定为在制作人彼特·斯卡夫尔的热门剧《马类》的重新翻演中出演一位叫作阿伦·斯特恩的爱马者的青年的角色，此剧将于二月份重返西区剧院。

《马类》于1973年首演于舞台，此剧震惊了当时的观众——在马背上裸体骑马的主角斯特恩肯定激起了不少性欲。

《每日邮报》并称一旦门票开始销售，剧场里的座位将非常热手。

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's West End debut is destined to turn heads - literally - as he plays a nude sex scene in the round.

Britain's Daily Mail reports that Radcliffe has been cast as Alan Strang, a young horse-fancier, in a new production of Peter Schaffer's hit play Equus, which is set to return to the West End in February.

When first staged in 1973, the play shocked audiences - the actor playing Strang must simulate sex while naked on horseback.

The controversy is set to continue next year, with 60 seats being placed on the stage of the West End's Gielgud Theatre for each performance.

The Daily Mail predicts that the seats on stage are going to be the most sought-after in London when they go on sale.

Radcliffe will co-star with Richard Griffiths, who plays a therapist brought in to find out why the disturbed groom has blinded six horses.

Griffiths also plays Harry's Uncle Vernon in the Potter series, and was seen in Sydney in the hit play The History Boys this year.
