'‘It’s our society’s way of dealing with someone different’'
Inside a psychiatric facility, Chief Bromden has not uttered a word for years — both confined and maligned by a system that divides, labels, and forgets. But he has a story to tell. He has simply been waiting patiently - and quietly - for someone to listen to it.
Enter Randle P. McMurphy, a provocateur and gambler, whose fierce defiance begins to unsettle the ward — and sparks a long dormant flame in Bromden and his fellow patients. They have been stripped of their humanity under the iron rule of Nurse Ratched. Now, thanks to McMurphy’s rebellion, they have once again found their voices — and memories of what it means to be free.
Clint Dyer manages to reignite the rebellious spirit of the original novel at The Old Vic as he directs a bold new staging of Ken Kesey’s countercultural masterpiece, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, starring Giles Terera and Aaron Pierre. In a searing exploration of the social structures deliberately built to silence dissent, this production invites its audience to experience the powerful story in a new light.
This production is supported by The Huo Family Foundation and The Public Fund, with Bird & Bird as the proud Production Sponsor. Book One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Tickets on Theatre Tickets London.
