Psychiatrist Martin Dysart is brought the most challenging case of his career by magistrate Hesther Saloman. Alan Strang seems like a normal seventeen year old. His life appears routine and his family loving. However, Alan's passion for horses and an encounter with stablehand Jill has led him to behave in the most devastating way. Only Dysart seems able to grasp the answer to the psychological puzzle. His search for the truth leads the audience through an intensely dramatic series of scenes and revelations that prove to be both captivating and unsettling. This is truly a spine-tingling evening of theatre!
ALT has assembled a brilliant cast of actors for this production. The cast includes Don Washburn, Nick Palmieri, Don Shipman, Shannon Mashburn, Amber Burton, Sandra Sweat, John Bernard, Josh Bates, Kim Shreffler, Ricky Shreffler, Jacob Kuker, and Jonathan Mobley. Artistic Director is Allen Shankles. Art DeMar is Assistant to the Director.
ALT audiences are also encouraged to attend the Hastings' Ovation Series talk-back session immediately following the performance on Sunday, April 11. It's a great opportunity to explore the many themes and ideas of this very challenging show.
