SF Playhouse's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST Plays Final Week, Closes 9/5

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest left an indelible mark on the literature, theater, and film of our time. Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately devastating, it is the unforgettable story of a mental hospital and its inhabitants. In a world where sanity means conformity and following the rules is the only way to survive. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a powerful exploration of the beauty and the danger of being an original.

Bill English directs a non-traditional cast starring: Hansford Prince as Randall P. McMurphy, Michael Torres as Chief Bromden, Susi Damilano as Nurse Ratched, and Louis Parnell as Dale Harding. Also featured are Patrick Alparone, Madeline H. D. Brown, Gilberto Esqueda, Catz Forsman, Dwight Huntsman, Marissa Keltie, Yusef Lambert, Joe Madero, Brian Raffi, and David Sinaiko.

Founded by Bill English and Susi Damilano in 2003, The SF Playhouse is Union Square's intimate, professional theatre. Using professional actors and world class design, The SF Playhouse, which won the SF Weekly 2007 Best Theatre Award, Bay Guardian's 2006 Best Off Broadway Theatre Award and about which the San Francisco Chronicle raved, "San Francisco's newest theatre isn't just another tiny stage carved out of a storefront . . . its an enticing introduction to a new company," has become an intimate theatre alternative to the traditional Union Square theatre fare, garnering multiple awards for its productions and providing a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers, and theatre lovers converge, The SF Playhouse, hailed as a "small delicacy" by SF Weekly , "eclectic" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian and "local theater's best kept secret" by San Francisco Magazine, strives to create works that celebrate the human spirit.

The production plays Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., plus Saturday 3p.m. and will play its final performance on Saturday, September 5th.
