Randall McMurphy is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in prison. This, he learns, was a mistake when he clashes with the head nurse. Quickly, he takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession had been unable to do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk. He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the world series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and chippies. His reward is a frontal lobotomy. Winner of the 2001 Out Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival.
