Richard Griffiths

Olivier Award winner Richard Griffiths and stage and screen veteran Kate Mulgrew will get to see Daniel Radcliffe naked. A lot. They'll all be rehearsing together for the Broadway revival of Equus. Actually, Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Radcliffe have been pretty intimate before, since they all worked together on the London Equus revival in 2007. The play begins previews at the Broadhurst Theatre on Sept. 5. There will be an official opening on Sept. 25.

Mr. Radcliffe will star as Alan Strang with Mr. Griffiths as Dr. Martin Dysart. Ms. Mulgrew will play Hesther Saloman, the role created on Broadway by Marian Seldes in 1974.
