| Written by Dale Wasserman |
| Based on book by Ken Kesey |
Kanata Theatre presents the stage version of Ken Kesey’s 1960's satiric novel. When R.P. McMurphy cons himself into a mental institution in order to escape prison life, he comes up against the iron will and supreme authority of Nurse Ratched, the ward superintendent. The novel, the play and the Oscar winning movie starring Jack Nicholson all feature an extraordinary combination of humour, sensitivity and tragedy making Cuckoo’s Nest a world wide perennial favourite.
