About
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is based on Ken Kesey's influential novel and adapted for the stage by Dale Wasserman. The production explores the struggle between individuality and institutional control within a state mental hospital. As a rebellious new patient challenges the authority of the formidable Nurse Ratched, patients throughout the ward begin to question the systems that govern their lives. The play is by turns funny, heartbreaking, and unsettling, asking enduring questions about power, conformity, and what society chooses to call sanity. Performance dates are October 9-10 at 8:00 p.m., October 11 at 2:30 p.m., October 16-17 at 8:00 p.m., and October 18 at 2:30 p.m. The production contains mature language and themes including depictions of mental illness, institutionalization, racism, misogyny, sexuality, violence, and discussions of suicide. Directed by Janine Corman.
