Directed by Derek Wohlust, the play follows the story of Randle P. McMurphy, a rebellious gambler who fakes insanity to serve his prison sentence in a psychiatric hospital. Once inside, he wages a battle of wits and will against the formidable Nurse Ratched. As McMurphy rallies his fellow patients to reclaim their humanity, the audience is taken on a searing exploration of institutional power and the cost of nonconformity.
