One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

November 2008

Directed by Ronin Traynor

Slough's newest company the West Wing Rep brought their debut amateur production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest to the West Wing Arts Centre over three nights. This powerful story of a mental ward and its inhabitants challenges conventional notions of sanity and insanity. With the arrival of patient Mc Murphy a titanic clash of power ensues between the patients and the institution resulting in a rollercoaster ride of excitement, danger, fun and tragedy as the patients each make their journey of self-discovery.
