Checking IMDB, Wikipedia, and a couple of other sources show nothing about a recording of the stage play having been made available. The closest thing is the film starring Burton (he was also in the play prior to the movie). Here are the details: The play was originally staged at the Royal National Theatre at the Old Vic in London in 1973. It was directed by John Dexter and starred Alec McCowen as psychiatrist Martin Dysart and Peter Firth as Alan Strang, the young patient. It was subsequently presented on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre with Anthony Hopkins and Peter Firth. Later, Tom Hulce played the role of Alan Strang, and Anthony Perkins replaced Hopkins as Martin Dysart. Perkins was briefly replaced by Richard Burton for the star’s return to Broadway for a limited run. Perkins resumed the part when Burton’s run ended. The play received a Tony Award for best play in 1975. Equus was acclaimed not only for its dramatic craftmanship and the performances by the stars, but also for it
