one flew over the cuckoo's nest

“A superb production. …Powerful and surprising. …Flint Rep breathes modern energy into ‘Cuckoo’s Nest.’ Since transforming it to the Flint Repertory Theatre, artistic director Michael Lluberes has been doing special things in perhaps the most beleaguered city in Michigan.

…Besides having consistently excellent casts, Flint Repertory Theatre is setting a standard for consistently imaginative set design. …Play after play, Lluberes leads a re-imagining of his sets, challenging his space and audiences. It has given his actors a fresh canvas on which to paint their characters that they, and we, have probably seen many times before.”

When Randle P. McMurphy gets transferred to a mental institution, he encounters Nurse Ratched who runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication, and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. The battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the authoritarian Ratched soon escalates, leaving no one in the ward left unscathed.
