One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
WestportTickets are now on sale for the 2001 Tony® Award Winner for Outstanding Revival of a play. Directed by Tanya Feduik-Smith. Randle Patrick McMurphy contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with the head nurse, a fierce artinet. Quickly, he takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk. He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the world series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and chippies. For one offense, the head nurse has him submit to shock treatment. The party is too horrid for her and she forces him to submit to a final correction a frontal lobotomy.Theatre seats: $23, Table seats: $28. Student seats: $18.
