溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre to present One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

KINGSTON, R.I. — February 4, 2004 — Ken Kesey脮s grim satire, One Flew Over the Cuckoo聮s Nest, published in 1962, takes place in a mental institution and tells the story of a con man named McMurphy who wants to be institutionalized to escape the rigors of working on a prison farm.

When McMurphy challenges the head nurse, a dictatorial Nurse Ratched, life in the ward is irrevocably altered. McMurphy becomes a hero, changing the lives of the inmates, but pays dearly for his individualism.

Considered a classic, the book is a story of control versus freedom, hope versus despair, and friendship versus isolation. It was widely read by college students just as they were challenging authority and conformity. The movie version of the novel starred Jack Nicholson as McMurphy and won the 1975 Academy Award for “Best Picture.”

Dale Wasserman聮s adaptation of Kesey聮s novel received the 2001 Tony Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival. Cuckoo聮s Nest is captivating, funny, touching and exciting. It has been described as one of the finest, most meaningful and most moving plays of recent times by WPIX-TV.
