One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NestBy: Ken Kesey

A very well written classic play, the story mainly focused on McMurphy, who pretended to be insane in order to serve his prison sentences in a mental hospital.
Nurse Ratched was the head of the mental hospital and held the most power. Nurse Rathed showed a tendency of hatred towards McMurphy since he's both defiant and easy-going. As the story progresses, Nurse Ratched will realize that she begins to lose power as more of the patients begin to listen and support McMurphy. Nurse Ratched wanted to gain back her control in the mental hospital, but McMurphy won't back down.
McMurphy serves as a divine figure, defying authorities and helping the other mental patients to gain back their strength to stand up for themselves. A great play and a rather tragic and sympathetic ending.
