One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
Cavern Theatre
Ben Lexcen Drive
Sunshine Beach
nightly from 7.30pm
Tony Bonner star of shows such as The Lighthorsemen, the ANZACS, The Man from Snowy River, Murder She Wrote, Quigley Down Under and of course Skippy, (as the helicopter pilot Jerry King) is coming to Queensland to direct Jally Productions stage play’ One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest’.
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest was made famous on film by Jack Nicholson in 1975, winning the big five at the Academy Awards, but was first staged in 1963 on Broadway, starring Kirk Douglas.
Go inside the mind of an Indian chief & see the world of denial through his eyes & experience the lust of a man for size, & nothing more, the restoration of his stature in the world. That is what Dale Wasserman, the playwright who brought us this adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, would like us to know.
