The Grove Theatre (Upland, CA)
Based on Ken Kesey’s landmark novel — later made into the iconic, Oscar-winning movie starring Jack Nicholson — One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest follows Randle McMurphy, a small-time crook who fakes insanity to get out of a prison sentence. But instead of resting up at the state mental hospital, the rebellious yet charming McMurphy finds himself going toe-to-toe with the authoritarian Nurse Ratched as he attempts to stir up his fellow mental patients. The dynamics of live performance only heighten the tension between these two exquisitely drawn characters. Tough, touching and tragic, this American classic advocates poignantly for the dignity of every single person, no matter how “crazy” they might be.
