Suitable for ages 16 and above
Adapted into a play by Dale Wasseman, the action is focusing the attention on the obssesive compulsive chief assistant Ratched, aiming to control everyone, opposing Randle McMurphy, a hustler with a noble heart. The director Victor Ioan Frunză focuses his attention towards the struggle and the power issues, and the price needed to be paid in order to obtain it. Uniquely flavoured by live music, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” emerges as one of the most powerful and earth-shattering stories ever written, and reminding, through its quality and homogenity, of the spectacular theatre performances of the 1980s.
