About the event
Step inside the world of Nurse Ratched's meticulously maintained psychiatric floor , where the boundary between audience and actor dissolves, and you are no longer just watching a play—you are a patient on the ward. In this immersive production of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the audience shares the room with the patients, and the chilling, authoritarian atmosphere maintained by Nurse Ratched becomes your reality.

The immersive staging means the dramatic power struggles are happening right in your lap.
Experience the oppressive presence of Nurse Ratched's rigid authority
Feel the plight of the confined and oppressed patients
