Based on the novel by Ken Kesey, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” explores the issues of individuality and freedom. Set in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s, the story begins when brash petty criminal Randle McMurphy arrives at the facility, disrupting the rigid order imposed by the tyrannical Nurse Ratched. A battle of wills immediately ensues, challenging the ideas of freedom, conformity, and what it truly means to be sane in a world where sanity means conformity, and following the rules is the only way to survive.
