Harry Potter star to bare all on stage

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is to bare all onstage in his West End debut.

The teenager and his Potter co-star Richard Griffiths have been confirmed as the stars of the revival of Pete Shafer's controversial play Equus.

Radcliffe will play a disturbed youth who is obsessed with blinding horses. His publicist Vanessa Davies confirms he will strip for the role.

She said: "This is an extraordinary play and, yes, there is a scene of nudity in it, but that's not what the play is about."

Griffiths, who plays Harry Potter's villainous Uncle Vernon in the fantasy films, has been confirmed to play a psychiatrist in the play, which will open in March.
