by PETER SHAFFER with Peter Barkworth as Martin Dysart and Ian Sharrock as Alan Strang
DYSART: 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. Special sound by DICK MILLS of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop
