One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Written by Dale Wasserman Directed by April Curtis
November 11 - 14, 2009 McKenzie Theatre
Set in a state mental institution in America the 1960s, our hero is Randle P. MacMurphy, a loving, fighting, gambling life-affirming brawler who swaggers into the hospital, rallies the other patients and challenges the dictatorship of the Big Nurse. But this defiance, which starts as a sport, soon turns into a grim struggle; an all out war between authority and free will, ending in a shocking climax. At once hilarious and heroic, tragic and liberating, EOU is delighted to present this all time classic play. |
