Daniel Radcliffe: laugh a minute


Daniel Radcliffe in Equus.

"Concerning Daniel Radcliffe in Equus - it's long, very long. The production, people, the production!" And with a resounding "boom! tish!", the New York Post gives us their take on the Harry Potter kit-off fandango, shamelessly repeating the joke a paragraph later ("One problem, though, is the length. Of the play, people, the play!").

Buried in the smut, however, are a couple of interesting insights. It seems that Richard Griffiths hasn't yet learned his lines - there's an autocue in the wings - despite the play opening on Tuesday. Then there are the security guards, which apparently swarm the theatre before Radcliffe's 15 minute-long (!) nude scene, searching for cameras. "They've missed a few, however, and pictures have appeared all over the web," says the Post. Indeed, one was in the Sun last Saturday with the headline "Hairy Botter".
