FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

by Dale Wasserman
Directed by Hugh Croydon
3rd – 10th May 1980

A powerful dramatisation of Ken Kesey’s study of mental instability and vision of bureaucratic fascism run riot in a mental institution. Famous for the film version with Jack Nicholson’s brilliant performance as the irreverent, mischief-making McMurphy who leads the inmates against the “system” until it finally strikes back… A painfully funny, savagely tragic play.
