Through intense therapy sessions, Dysart unravels Alan's psyche, confronting his own professional and personal disillusionments in the process. Shaffer's exploration of the conflict between primal desires and societal constraints, alongside Alan's worship of Equus, a horse deity, makes for a profound examination of human nature and the pursuit of identity. "Equus" remains a timeless exploration of the human psyche's depths.
