Wellesley Players Presents ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, 11/19-21
The Wellesley Players is presenting Dale Wasserman's adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" at the Sorenson Center for the Arts, Babson College, Park Manor South, Wellesley (MA). The production runs THIS WEEKEND ONLY, November 19 and 20 at 8:00pm and November 21 at 2:00pm. Admission is $19; $17 for students and seniors.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is the story of several inmates of a northwestern mental institution, and their opportunities to overcome their disabilities and free themselves of their heavy psychological burdens. There is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in the airy institution rather than on a work farm. He clashes with the head nurse, but befriends his fellow in-mates, accomplishing with them what the medical profession has never been able to do. He makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian speak and regain his inner pride, and leads the others out of introversion. The head nurse is not one to stand for this, or for anyone compromising her authority, and does her utmost (and beyond) to keep 'order' in the ward.
A play with strong language and adult situations, this production is recommended for audiences 16 and up (Rated R). For tickets and information, call 781-237-8114, or visit www.wellesleyplayers.org.
