A Bold New Staging of Ken Kesey's Masterpiece
Book your One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest tickets for Clint Dyer's powerful new staging of Dale Wasserman's adaptation of Ken Kesey's countercultural classic. Starring Aaron Pierre as the rebellious Randle P. McMurphy, Giles Terera as Dale Harding, and Michelle Gomez as the formidable Nurse Ratched, this production reignites the spirit of the original novel while exploring themes of colonialism and the social structures built to silence dissent.
The Story
Inside a psychiatric facility, Chief Bromden has been silent for years, confined and maligned by a system that labels, divides and forgets. But he has a story to tell. He's just been waiting for someone to listen. Enter Randle P. McMurphy, a gambler and provocateur whose defiance unsettles the ward and sparks something long dormant in Bromden and his fellow patients. Under the iron rule of Nurse Ratched, they have been stripped of their humanity. Now, McMurphy's rebellion reminds the patients of their voices, and what it means to be free.
An Exceptional Cast
Aaron Pierre, star of Netflix's Rebel Ridge and Mufasa: The Lion King, brings raw charisma to McMurphy. Olivier Award winner Giles Terera, who originated the role of Aaron Burr in Hamilton's West End production, plays Dale Harding. Michelle Gomez, known for The Flight Attendant and Doctor Who, takes on the iconic role of Nurse Ratched. Staged in the round as part of The Old Vic's unique In The Round season, this production brings audiences closer to the action than ever before.
