"Puts us directly inside the consciousness of the men in battle for their sanity” – The Times Herald

In a world of medicated insanity, McMurphy – part saviour, part con man – introduces individuality. Facing the institutional likes of Nurse Ratched, McMurphy convinces the other patients the status quo is not to be tolerated. In a world where the threat of permanent incapacitation rules the day, a guilty man tries to fight for some sort of justice. Funny, shocking and profoundly moving, the play is one of the classics of American drama.
