The line between faking insanity and being insane proves too fine for Randle P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Before it was adapted into an Oscar-winning movie, Ken Kesey's novel was made into a Tony-winning stage play. McMurphy thinks he's pulled a fast one by feigning insanity to get out of a prison sentence. But instead of resting up at the state mental hospital, he finds himself going toe-to-toe with the controlling Nurse Ratched. Now the pre-professional training students of Boston's Children's Theatre will perform this emotional and thought-provoking drama at the Boston Center for the Arts' Plaza Theatre.
