Kitty darling, I think you are going to be cold for a while.

I will stick to my ideals and be in the minority. I believe it is wrong for children to be portrayed in sexual situations. This has absolutely nothing to do with the beauty of the human body!

The making out with a horse bothers me more than the nudity.

All I have to say is that I sure as hell hope Hagrid doesn't go nude.

I don't know about that. I like my men on the hairy side. Unlike Hairless Potter.

Seriously, do you guys wanna see him waving a wand around with huge glasses for the rest of his life? I don't.

AIT! Better than no glasses waving a huge wand around!:funn:

This is a non-event....
Will's role in the Emerald Coast Middle School production of "The Secret Garden" does not involve nudity! )

Why do you think they call it "The SECRET Garden"?
Just kidding. Secret Garden is a great play with a great life lesson. Kudo's to you and yours!:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

However, I am sure DR's choice of roles was well thought out - and remember, he may be 17, but he has had life experiences that make him quite a bit different than the average 17 year old, and taking this role is not in the same orbit as the celebrity kids his age that are drinking, drugging, and making bad choices every day.

Excellent point. Look at the demise of child stars. You can't help but be reminded of it everytime you turn on VH1.

The making out with a horse bothers me more than the nudity.

THAT actually is the point. But the play has been going on for over 30 years without incident. Different times, different cultures.

Besides, weren't Romeo and Juliet only 15 & 14? Of course there was no horse involved.

And before we continute to talk about nudity OVER THERE, we need to worry about the Nudity IN HERE!!! Would somebody PUH-LEASE through Miss Kitty a bathrobe? Really now. No. Really. NOW!

i get all moved in and the man brings the hugesnet and hooks it up and what do i see
>>he blinds six horses with a metal spike

good god on a pogo stick! what the hell is this play about anyway?

>>"The kids loved it," teacher and director Michael Komarek said. "Once they stopped screaming about horses getting their eyes gouged out and realized that it was just a launching point for more complex ideas about alienation from the modern world, they rolled up their sleeves and dug right in."

>>"They really made it work," said proud parent Melanie Keever. "The producers achieved a very convincing effect of real blood spewing from the agonized animals' eye sockets using Karo syrup and red paper streamers."

"It tasted good, too!" said Kyle Keever, who was unable to resist licking some Karo syrup off of his hands during the eye-gouging scene.

i am not going to go totally incendiary over this, i promise, but the kids obviously didn't get this play

i am going to use the brainscrubber as soon as i finish this, so it does not warp my reality into some apocalyptic creation of a nature where humans are the 'top of the food chain' and are sick enough to believe than it won't affect the players, or their religion condones such a thing as ill-treatment of animals

thank the heavens above i was born a redneck and a pagan and would never let my child participate or endure being mind-manipulated in this manner

off to the brainscrubber - goodbye!

Y'all do know that The Onion is a fake newspaper, right? Everything in it is completely made up. Check out the archived article about "The Hammurderer," the rejected McDonald's mascot.

YES!
Ocean Lover, Supermom, and anyone else who thought that link was real, as PotatoVixen says, The Onion is totally fake (and sometimes it *totally* cracks me up.) ;-)

I think Romeo and Juliet were 16 and 14. I am old enough to remember what a huge deal it was when the movie came out in '69. Everyone in our class had to get a permission slip signed so that we could take a field trip to the theater (and see Romeo's naked tush.)

This is a non-event. As far as I know, my kids will not be traveling to London any time soon to see "Equus" on the British stage. Yes, Daniel Radcliffe is just 17, but he is not my child. My children won't be doing nude theater as minors (at least I hope Will's role in the Emerald Coast Middle School production of "The Secret Garden" does not involve nudity! )

However, I am sure DR's choice of roles was well thought out - and remember, he may be 17, but he has had life experiences that make him quite a bit different than the average 17 year old, and taking this role is not in the same orbit as the celebrity kids his age that are drinking, drugging, and making bad choices every day.

jdarg, you are always the voice of reason. I agree completely. this is not my child and it never will be my child, so why even think in those terms. and why do we always want to have a say about the choices of others?

I am interested in hearing about how he chose this role, and reviews of his performance. and I want to know about this particular play.

 

[Miss Kitty]

I think he should put the glasses back on and be done with it. :roll:

 

[Camp Creek Kid]

I think Supermom knows that The Onion is fake. She posted the link because it was a satircal story about Equus and gives those who are not familiar with the play an idea about its themes.

what play?
