you haven’t seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest you’ve really been missing
something great. Plot summary: McMurphy thinks he can get out of
doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plan backfires
when he is sent to a mental hospital. He tries to liven the place up a
bit by playing card games and basketball with his fellow inmates, but the
head nurse is after him at every turn. The play, based on the book
by Ken Kesey was also made into a movie that won seven Academy Awards.
