Contemporary Theatre of Dallas presents the thought-provoking and explosive drama, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, adapted by by Dale Wasserman from the novel by Ken Kesey. Marianne Galloway directs.
The stage version of Kesey’s masterful novel is just as potent and intense as the Oscar-winning movie. In a mental hospital ruled with an iron fist by the soft-spoken, steely Nurse Ratched, the rebel patient McMurphy – who has faked mental illness to get out of a prison sentence – tries to rewrite the rules. Authority and freedom, sanity and madness, male and female all clash in this powerful classic.
Rated R for adult language and mature themes.
