28th - 31st March
7.30 pm
Electric Theatre, Guildford

Winner of the 5 major Academy Awards for the 1975 film starring Jack Nicholson, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest initially took flight as the iconic novel by Ken Kesey in 1962 and adapted for the stage by Tony Award winning writer Dale Wasserman one year later. An unforgettable story of the inhabitants of a mental institution in Oregon where the patients are ruled with a firm and un-bending routine at the hands of Senior Nurse Ratched. Rehabilitation means a life of mind-numbing medication and group therapy until the arrival of RP McMurphy a fun loving serial criminal determined to challenge the status quo. However no one can successfully challenge the laws of the institution where defiance will not be tolerated, whilst obedience is the only way to survive . Humorous, dark and poignant, the thought provoking subject of the treatment of mental illness and the challenge against individuality promises to be a captivating and very memorable evening for all.
