MCT is proud to present One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Dale Wasserman based on the novel by Ken Kesey.
Boisterous, ribald and ultimately shattering, this is the unforgettable story of a mental hospital and its inhabitants. In a world where sanity means conformity and following the rules is the only way to survive, One Flew Over tCuckoo’s Nest is a powerful exploration of both the beauty and the danger of being your own unique self.
“It’s chaos vs order in a touching story of fear, courage, rebellion and heart. A dive into resisting the constructs of conformity and finding friendship with those with whom you least expect to find it.” –Miguel Reyna, Director
