McMurphy, the lead character in the play One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, thinks he has a plan: To avoid hard time on a prison farm for statutory rape, he’ll spend his time at a cushy psych ward. He isn’t crazy, of course, but he’s displayed enough antiauthoritarian tendencies that officials agree he needs an evaluation. Sweet, right? Actually, not so much. Once inside, McMurphy goes about stirring up the other prisoners, with deadly consequences. This production is presented by the Crighton Players at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays.
