| Abstract | ||||
| Peter Shaffer is an internationally- recognized writer who occupies an extraordinary position in contemporary British theatre. Shaffer`s plays reflected the psychological depths of the conflicts in the human mind. Therefore, he is a master of telling tales. Shaffer claims to tell tales, to conjure up the spectres of horror and to make gasp in order to please and make laugh to surprise his audience. The research has handled and analyzed Peter Shaffer’s play, Equus presenting a variety of ways in which they can be interpreted and how postmoderism has a great impact on it. The main concern all over the research is to assure the point that Shaffer discusses many problems of individual from modern and post-modern view producing ideas which rely on the theatrical environment for the achievement of their full psychological and emotional effect. Actually, two central problems lie at Shaffer’s drama: conflict and religion. Shaffer assures in Equus that conflict is between virtuous mediocrity and feckless genius affecting his own imagination. He as a postmodern dramatist reflects the thinking of society and centralizes the communal responses of his protagonists to depict a typical British Family that suffers from many conflicts to help to make more real feelings. The main objective of this research In this regard, the research investigates and analyzes shaffer`s play, Equus, (1974). To accomplish this objective, the research adopts an analytical/theoretical method of Shaffer`s critical critical approaches creating different insights and ideas. | ||||
