While I admit I DON'T know British law, I don't think Dan 
is quite legal; at least not /fully/ legal. I believe in 
England he can drink (alcohol) under some circumstances, 
but he is not as free to drink as an offical adult. Nor do
I think at 17 he is eligible to vote. In fact, only this
year is he allowed to start taking driving lessons.

So, the question is, if he appears nude in a clearly 
artistic context and in a morally controlled environment, 
would it be considered 'child porn'? As you point out, he 
is above the age of sexual consent. Is that sufficient? 

Is he also allowed to enter into contract and sign other
legal documents without the supervision of his partents?

Well one way around the whole dilemma is to put Dan in a body suit or
at least flesh-colored briefs. As to the horse ride, it's not so much
a matter of faking a horse ride, but of doing it convincingly. They
could put him and his little fleshy briefs on a fake stationary horse
that rocks back and forth to simulate galloping, and move the scenery
across the stage behind Dan. The moving scenery thing is common in
stage productions and even in very old movies.

But, again, can that be done in away that seems believable.

They could also use video footage. I'm not sure of the context of the
nude horse ride; whether it is real-time or a flash-back, or whatever.
 But if it is some kind of scene recalled from memory, the scene could
be projected on the back ground while Dan and the pschiatrist remain
faded in the foreground. Again, I don't know the context, so it's hard
for me to accurately speculate.

Just a few thoughts.

Wish I could get to London to see the show. Who knows, maybe I'll win
the lottery.
