Cuckoo’s Nest Saves Long Winter
By Jean Clark, Downtown/Heart of Missoula Neighborhood Advocate
You know, when this weather seems to drag on and on and it seems spring will never come, it’s the best time to hang out downtown in Missoula because there are so many events going on it gets you out of the house and brightens your spirits. Here’s the information on another promising Missoula Children’s Theater production.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Guest directed by David Mills-Low
March 11-13, 16-20
MCT VIP Night March 10
By Dale Wasserman. Based on the novel by Ken Kesey. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
If you appreciate great drama, don’t even think about missing this brilliant American classic. Into the confinement of Nurse Ratched’s tidy asylum, enters Randle Patrick McMurphy. The clash of their wills results in a primal fight for independence and even sanity. Both uplifting and heart-rending, Ken Kesey’s masterpiece will haunt your memory for days and nights to come.
Uncle Jim’s Straight Scoop
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is simply a great play. It will haunt you and it will make you think. It is one of my favorite pieces of American literature. MCT doesn’t often present a show with this much intensity, so give it a try, you won’t be sorry… but it’s babysitter time. The serious themes and the nature of the action are not suitable for most kids.
This show contains language which may be offensive to some and adult themes that are not suitable for children. General public tickets on sale February 22
