"...must-see drama...two superb leads [and] a supporting cast so strong as to be hypnotic all by themselves. Todd Rosenthal's set is perfection. Kincaid is brilliant and terrifying as Nurse Ratched...her best role since Barbara in August: Osage County." —Manning Harris for Atlanta INtown

"Shockingly good...a dream team of mostly local actors...you'll hear the timeless echo of Greek drama, the Bible, Shakespeare, and Beckett...[with] some of Atlanta's best talent, [director Susan V.] Booth does Cuckoo's Nest proud." —Wendell Brock for AJC

This powerful American drama explores the beauty and danger of being a free spirit in a closed system. Randle McMurphy charms his way onto a psych ward thinking it's surely the easy way to serve out a six-month prison term. There he encounters Nurse Ratched, a disciplined and extremely focused agent of authority. Randle uses his charisma and humor to breathe life into the ward and lead the other patients into open rebellion. But McMurphy's revolution against Nurse Ratched and everything she stands for quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle—with shattering results. 

Featuring an all-star Atlanta cast.
