| One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest Play by Dale Wasserman, based on the book by Ken Kesey.
Starring Christian Slater as 'Randle. P. McMurphy' and Alex Kingston as 'Nurse Ratched'.
Spotless clean, shining white, the ward is run with clinical precision by the Big Nurse. The clock in the control room ticks down the days, and the 'acute' and the 'chronic' know the schedule in and out.
Into this apparent elysium bursts Randall P. McMurphy, a convicted psychotic drifter, accustomed to ruling the roost, calling the shots, and doing his will and he upsets the proverbial apple cart...
As Big Nurse struggles to maintain her control and authority, the inmates' lives are turned upside down and around while she and McMurphy lock horns in battle for their hearts and minds.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a powerful, poignant, disturbing and ultimately liberating theatrical experience. |

| | What's New | One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest C Christian Slater in particular has emerged from the shadow of Jack Nicholson's celebrated performance in the movie, and makes the key role of RP McMurphy thrillingly his own.
In purely theatrical terms, the play is knockout. The production has an exhilarating confidence, and, as well as Slater's compelling performance, there is Alex Kingston of ER Fame who plays the the tyrannically vile nurse Ratched. There's great support, too. - Go See it.

| Theatre Review | One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Opened for a second Run 21st May 2006
This production by Terry Johnson and Tamara Harvey has a resilient energy. Slater, who has the restlessness of a caged animal, catches exactly the bully-boy aspect of Randle... Alex Kingston, new to the role of Nurse Ratched, also does everything possible to avoid making her a pantomime demon: with her watchful gaze and carmined lips, Kingston is a figure who relishes power without sacrificing her femininity.
The Guardian
The charge between the two [Alex Kingston's Nurse Ratched and Christian Slater's Randle McMurphy] is tremendous as they face each other down, both mule-headed, both convinced they are right. The storyline grips and moves you... the acting in the production is so intelligent and sympathetic. Relishing the humour throughout, the production still delivers the seriousness of the end.
