"Think of it: perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he could become..."
Directed by Lauren Diesch
Bluntly funny, often manic, and ultimately deeply moving, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST tells the struggle of the Individual vs the Institution. McMurphy dodges a prison stint by committing himself to a mental facility. But who's really insane and who has the power? A Native patient named Chief, guides us through the mind in this dark tale of power and submission. The New York Times calls it "Scarifying and powerful." WPIX TV calls it "Brilliant. The stuff of great theatre." And "One of the finest, most meaningful and most moving play of recent times."
