April 9 (Bloomberg) -- Daniel Radcliffe will strip again on stage when ``Equus'' comes to Broadway beginning in September, following a hit London revival of the 1973 Peter Schaffer drama.

The 19-year-old actor, best known as the on-screen Harry Potter, will play opposite Richard Griffiths, also a star of the ``Potter'' franchise. Griffiths last appeared on Broadway in another high-profile London import, 2006's ``The History Boys,'' for which he won a Tony Award.

In the drama Radcliffe plays an unhinged 17-year-old boy charged in the gruesome blinding of several horses. Griffiths plays the court-appointed psychiatrist who must solve the mystery behind the attack, which followed a sexual encounter with a girl in the stable.

Some London critics found ``Equus'' -- with its fairly high quotient of psychosexual mumbo-jumbo -- dated in 2007. Most were won over by Radcliffe nevertheless.

The ``young star is willing to bare himself emotionally as well as physically,'' Matt Wolf wrote in a review for Bloomberg News. ``The brouhaha over Radcliffe's extended nude scene is nothing compared to the emotional savagery that any actor in this role must nightly unleash.''

The Shubert Organization will again produce the play, which originally starred Anthony Hopkins in his first and only Broadway foray. The ``Equus'' revival, directed by Thea Sharrock, is scheduled for a 22-week run, ending Feb. 8, 2009.
