s Charley Cotton ’12 (Washington University) took off for the University of Edinburgh for a junior semester abroad this past winter, where he landed a starring role with the Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s production of Equus, staged at the Bedlam Theater. Said critic Thom Dibdin (alledinburghtheater.com): “The core of the EUTC production is a superb, sustained and believable performance from Charley Cotton
as the psychiatrist, Martin Dysart. It’s a strong mix of the naturalistic and the representational, as Dysart exposes the steps of his examination of the boy. Crucially, while providing a strong and clear narratorial role, Cotton also ensures that the play is as much about Dysart as Alan Strang, his young patient.” BRAVO!
