In order to escape prison labour, Randle McMurphy fakes insanity and is shifted to the special ward for the mentally unstable. But the martinet Nurse Ratched runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy leading to a battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratched.
What unfolds is a war between good and evil, freedom and control. With a stellar cast of the cream of Sligo talent, Cuckoo’s Nest promises to be a powerful night of theatre not to be missed.
