About the Play
This award-winning play features a charming rogue, Randolph McMurphy, who schemes to serve his short term sentence in a mental institution rather than a prison. His inevitable clash with the formidable head nurse reveals the humor and cost of standing up to authority, and the universal issues of human dignity and compassion. He leads a cast of inmates in this unforgettable battle of wits, most notably the (presumably) deaf and mute Native American, Chief Bromden, and the tragically vulnerable young man, Billy Bibbit.
Roles
The cast requires seven men, between the ages of 25 – 55, and three women, two of whom are between the ages of 25 – 35 and one between 40 – 50.
