This modern day classic presents Randle Patrick McMurphy,
the rebellious inmate of a psychiatric hospital who fights back against
the authorities' cold attitudes of institutional superiority, as personified
by Nurse Ratched and her staff. It's the classic antiestablishment
tale of one man asserting his individuality in the face of a repressive,
conformist system - and it works on every level. The play is populated
with memorably eccentric characters, which capture the qualities of
human nature - playfulness, courage, inspiration, pride, stubbornness
- that are universal and timeless.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is the perfect antidote
to November's long, dark evenings. Enjoy.
