Daniel has been very brave but unwise to do this. If he is still 17 years old, I am suprised his Equus nudity does not fall into the category of child exploitation / child pornography. I think possession of pictures of 17 year old boy naked and simulating sex acts would be illegal, why is it not illegal to show it on stage? At 17 (although he may roll his eyes if he reads this), he is not old enough to know better. I think his advisors have let him down. If he wanted to venture into complex psychological adutlt theatre with a titilation aspect, he should have done so at the earliest at 18, probably 21. 'Oh, come on Daniel, its art!' they probably said, but in reality it is solely the lure of seeing Harry Potter's naked (and highly desirable) teenage body which is pulling in 95% of the punters for this play. Ok, its beautiful, but Daniel keep it covered up till you're a man, then decide what to do with it!

Harvey, you clearly havn't been to see the play. If he'd of done it in his pants it wouldn't of had the same effect. And as i was at the first show i can tell you there was probably a third of the audience there solely because they wanted to see Dan in action, which by the way, he was FANTASTIC! He's a great actor, and he should be praised, not criticised, for this play. Being 17, he probably made his own mind up to do it. Im sure he has a mind of his own!!

You know if he wants to be that way then let him be. Even though that makes hima porn star. Like you said 'he is not a child.' Besides you have to wonder what his mother did to him after that!

what is all this nonsense about his age? He iS a MAN despite what the 'law' states. At 17 I'm sure he has a firm grip on reality more that the prudish 'adults' who forgot what they were like at 17! Long before we all became concerned about what anybody did with their life, our ancestors never thought twice if it was 'art' or 'porn', They had fun, had sex, raised faimlies and fought wars at 13, 14, 15, 16 year old! it's about life and I'm glad he has matured enough to know what he wants to do with his future.

When a boy who symbolizes everything that is 'still' good and moral in the entertainment industry, gives in to the old hollywood formulas like 'sex sells' and surrenders and allows himself to be dragged and enslaved by it, you know that the world has gone further down the drain.

Btw, the age of consent in the UK is 16 not 18.
