One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Playhouse in the Park is currently showing the award-winning play "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Made famous by a film starring Jack Nicholson, the show centers around McMurphy, a sarcastic criminal who opts to serve a short sentence in a mental hospital rather than in a prison. While there, he infuriates the head nurse, leads a rebelion, stages a party and succeeds in making a previously mute Indian speak. Eventually, the events culminate into a twisted ending that leaves audiences stunned. The play stars several Murray State students and runs Feb. 15 through 25.
