A co-production with the Manitoba Theatre Centre

“Perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he can become.”


Randle P. Murphy has always lived by his own rules. When he cons his way into a mental institution in order to escape prison life, he comes head to head with the ultimate authority – the soft-spoken and tyrannical Nurse Ratched. What follows is a no-holds-barred battle for freedom against total control, and the lives of other patients are at stake. Heroic, hilarious and ultimately shocking, this unforgettable story exposes the boundaries between causing harm and creating hope.

Discover with us the theatrical version of the novel that inspired the famous movie. Caught inside this insane asylum, you’ll be dazzled by a colossal battle of wits. During a recent revival on Broadway, one reviewer noted that this play “transforms the audience into one wild cheering section.
