Associate Director of Sheffield Theatres Javaad Alipoor directs this adaptation of the classic novel, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, that inspired the cult film.
Determined to avoid a term in jail, small time criminal McMurphy opts to spend his sentence in a psychiatric ward. As the reality of his incarceration dawns, he comes up against the authoritarian Nurse Ratched, who is not about to give up her regime of discipline and order without a fight.
Rebellion and conformity clash, and McMurphy and his fellow inmates learn what happens to the individual when the institution takes control.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is at Sheffield Theatres 8th – 23rd June 2018.
