The Horse And His Boy
Glyn Robbins
Strider
by Steve Brown, Robert Kalfin, Mark Rozovsky, Norman L. Berman, Tamara Bering Sunguroff, S. Vetkin, Uri Riashentev
Synopsis
Tolstoy’s story of life seen through the eyes of Strider, a piebald horse, has been brilliantly and magically adapted to the stage, and it makes Strider seem both equine and thoughtfully human.
Despite his maverick coat, Strider is a thoroughbred and a champion.
He tells his story to the other horses in the stable; it is one of unexpected triumph and undeserved despair, running much the same as his master’s, a dissolute prince.
Strider is also an allegory about the indomitability of the pure-in-spirit – and, while inspirational, it is also a valid commentary on the injustices of the world.
