Synopsis
The play is set in an American State Mental Hospital.
The long term patients are rather overawed and fascinated by the arrival of Randle P McMurphy, an insubordinate prison inmate.
His humour and attitude reflect on the inmates, who are captivated and energised by him.
We are very grateful to...
WESTERN EQUIPMENT for the loan of the bed.
FRENCHAY HOSPITAL for the loan of scrubs.
GLENSIDE MUSEUM for the loan of strait jacket and electric shock therapy equipment.
SOUTHMEAD HOSPITAL for the loan of nurses' uniforms.
