Review: Pete MacLeod Leads Kelowna Actors' Studio's Equus

Kelowna Actors' Studio's 2019 production of Peter Shaffer's Equus — with Pete MacLeod in the demanding lead role of Alan Strang — drew high praise from The Daily Courier. Critic Anna Jacyszyn wrote "Equus features the best acting I have ever seen on a Kelowna stage", calling the production graphic, harrowing, and unbelievable in its impact.

The psychologically intense two-act play, staged in the round at The Workroom, follows a psychiatrist unraveling the reasons behind a disturbed teenager's shocking crime. The review noted the production's stark visual design and physical performances, describing the experience as one audiences needed time to fully absorb afterward.
