The 17-year old actor, who plays the magician with glasses in the adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s novels, will play a disturbed teenager working in a stable, in the Peter Shaffer play, Equus.
The play will focus on the emotions of this young man, Alan Strang, who will blind six horses with a metal pick. The production should be on stage next March in London’s West End Theater district.
"It is an extraordinary play, and he’s very much looking forward to the role," Radcliffe’s spokeswoman, Vanessa Davies, said. "He is maturing as an actor and beginning to take on new and challenging roles."
