EQUUS — Giles Thomas

The Sound Track album from the critically acclaimed production of EQUUS directed by Ned Bennett. Produced by English Touring Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East with a West End run at Trafalgar Studios. The score revolves around a string quartet moving between luscious open chords and jarring discords.

“Technically this is a show that takes the breath away. Giles Thomas’ melancholic, supple music and sound design contribute immeasurably to the uncompromising overall vision.”

“There’s the primal physicality of the horses, but also Giles Thomas’s wonderfully ominous sound design, and Jessica Hung Han Yun’s thrilling horror-movie lighting”

— Time Out - ★★★★

“revolutionises Peter Shaffer’s can-be-ponderous 1973 modern classic about a disturbed teenager and turns it into an intoxicating event that drips with physicality and theatricality”

— Evening Standard - ★★★★★

“Giles Thomas’s soundtrack of strings and electronica is alluringly tense.”

— The Times - ★★★★
