One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Without hesitation my No. 1 favorite of all time. It is a comedy and a tragedy, hilarious and heartbreaking all at the same time.
This play is about a new and rebellious patient who is brought to a small mental institution where his antics endear the other patients to him and incur the wrath of the wrath of the stern and repressive nurse who runs their ward.

In my mind I thought it would be just short of impossible to replace the original McMurphy Chief, and Nurse Rachett, but the actors did an outstanding job with their roles.

Nineteen seniors from the Kasson Public Library service area attended an almost full house of Rochester Civic Theater production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest on Sunday, January 30 at 2 pm. The seniors thoroughly enjoyed this play and eagerly talked to each other about it.

Kasson Library in partnership with Rochester Civic Theater (RCT) and the Minnesota Legacy Grant program applied for money to offset the expense of seniors attending plays at RCT during the 2010-2011 season. This partnership was formed last Fall to provide cultural experiences for senior through the Minnesota Clean Water Legacy Act by voters in November, 2008.
