Daniel's Last Performance in Equus

Yesterday Saturday June 9th was Dan last performance in the theater production Equus. Daniel made his West End leading-role debut in Shaffer's 1973 drama at London's Gielgud on Feb. 27, Dan drew positive reviews from the critics and also fans.

Part of the cast in this production were Tony-winning star of The History Boys, Richard Griffiths; Jenny Agutter, best known for her appearance in the 1970 film version of The Railway Children; and Will Kemp, star of Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.

Thanks to dr.com we have a small report of what occured that night:

"There is usually a partial standing ovation, for Dan and Richard, but there was a unanimous standing ovation as soon as the horses came out. Everyone looked choked and Will was beaming and Joanna was almost in tears and Dan and Richard came out and we screamed and they hugged and Dan looked utterly, utterly awestruck and thrilled and Dan-like and adorable, and we stood and we clapped and we cheered and Richard made shushing motions with his hands and we shushed and stayed standing and I was right in front of them.

Richard said they’d had an amazing run and some shows are set in stone from the first night, but this was a work in progress until tonight, and the audiences were part of it and were amazing, and a mix of old theatre goers and people who’d never been before...

Dan was gazing at him and Joanna was blinking back tears and Jenny was nodding, and it was wonderful and then they applauded us and they went off and we clapped and I was still shaking.

A teenage girl climbed onto the stage and I thought she was going to steal Alan’s clothes, but she followed them into the wings and a stage hand ran after her from the prompt corner, and the usher ran up to the stage and she slunk back to the front of the stage, all pouting and hard done by, and climbed down."

And finally there are also rumours that Thea Sharrock's production will be heading for New York next spring with, it is thought, Radcliffe and Griffiths reprising their roles in a May or June 2008 transfer. There are also plans for a production in Australia.

I hope to see Daniel in this masterpiece production next year in New York!!

UPDATE: First Official Review of December Boys

UPDATE We also have a new picture of Daniel!

Movie Hole has the first official review of the film December Boys, and it is a very nice review, specially for Daniel. (Be aware that this reviewer is a bit rude talking about films, but what a best person to give a nice review about this film"

"I've never been a huge fan of the Harry Potter movies – there, I said it.... and I assumed Daniel Radcliffe was cast because he could balance a pair of glasses on his nose.

Seems I was wrong.

....

Prepare to be surprised. Seems the young British face behind cinemas most popular teenage character has a few more tricks in his shimmering sack.

Radcliffe’s harbouring a chamber of secrets ya see, because in the new Aussie film “December Boys” - yep, he’d be the investment; the marketing angle and so on - he pulls a mighty big rabbit out of his hat. He’s so good here in fact he could probably stop taking orders from the ‘Phoenix’ now and send Potter back home on the loco.

I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the film this week, and though the performances definitely outshine the film itself, it’s going to do well.

Though it’s not of the same ilk as some of Australia’s grand dramas – it’s a cliché, but it’s true, they don’t make them like they used to! – “December Boys” is still a very enjoyable picture with much of the credit due to its young performers.

But Radcliffe really impressed me here. I liked his Aussie accent, I liked his performance and I also thought he had great chemistry with Theresa Palmer. I’ll talk more upon the film closer to its release in September."

2nd UPDATE: Thanks to Coming Soon we know that December Boys it's been rated PG-13 and the trailer for this film is coming soon!!!!

New Interview

Thanks to dr.uk, we have a new interview of Dan and some bits about Emma from The Northern Echo. In this new interview Daniel talks about Harry's first kiss:

"It was a lot more clinical. It's like being in any scene really. If anything, it was disappointing about how unsexy it was."

Here is the part that I like the best...

Unlike other child actors, Radcliffe hasn't succumbed to pressures of early fame and fortune, despite his pay cheques making him one of the richest young men in the country. He's kept a level head, although he's not beyond having fun.

Radcliffe fields questions like a pro, more efficiently and intelligently than many who've been doing it a lot longer....

This is the bit about Emma

His co-stars have reason to celebrate too. Emma had heard that morning she'd bagged eight As in her exams and talks of wanting to go to university. For the moment, she's signed up for the final two Potter films.
