Almost a year after its highly successful extended run, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest returns to the West End for a strictly limited 10 week season at the Garrick Theatre.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a powerful, poignant, disturbing and ultimately liberating theatrical experience.
The story is set in the sterile confines of a US mental hospital in the early 1960s. Spotless clean and shining white, the ward is run with clinical precision by Nurse Ratched. The clock in the control room ticks down the days, and the 'acutes' and the 'chronics' know the schedule in and out.
Into this apparent elysium bursts Randle P McMurphy, a convicted psychotic drifter accustomed to ruling the roost and calling the shots.
As Nurse Ratched struggles to maintain her control and authority, the inmates' lives are turned upside down and around while she and McMurphy lock horns in battle for their hearts and minds.
Hollywood legend Christian Slater reprises his role as Randle P McMurphy alongside Alex Kingston as Nurse Ratched.
