Equus

on BBC Radio 4 FM

With one particular horse, called Nugget, he embraces. The animal digs its sweaty brow into his cheek, and they stand in the dark for an hour - like a necking couple.
Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is asked by a local magistrate to take on an unusual case. He soon finds himself in the midst of a nightmare - his patient is a 17-year-old boy who has blinded six horses with a metal spike.
(Repeated: Man 7.45 pm)
